Young Tony was eight. He always drew something that he saw with a pencil. When his mother took him to a park, he didn't want to play games with the other children. He only wanted to draw pictures. His father was quite worried. " I don't want Tony to draw pictures like that," he said.

"Why not?" his mother said, "Some people do. Think about all the famous artists, Gaugin, Van Gogh. Their interest in life was drawing."

"But they had talent, Tony just draws."

"He's young now." his mother said. " He'll get better and better. I think he's already showing a lot of strengths.

"If he's so good, maybe we can find a teacher for him. Then he can learn how to draw better."

A week later, Tony had his first lesson with art teacher. The teacher asked Tony to draw a picture of someone important to him. Tony drew very carefully.
