聪明的仆人
Vincent was a good painter. One day, a rich man asked him to draw a beautiful picture on the wall of his yard. Vincent spent more than ten days drawing the picture. After finishing it, he enjoyed watching the picture on the pedal and almost lost himself in the picture. He didn't notice that he was at the edge of the pedal.
At that time, a servant near Vincent saw him. He thought, "Vincent will fall off and hurt himself if I remind him now." Just then he got an idea. The servant ran up to the beautiful picture and threw the brush onto the wall. Then the picture was no longer beautiful. But the servant stopped the painter from falling down. How clever the servant was!
