Chang And His Magic Paintbrush!

Far, far away,
beyond all sorts of countries, seas, and rivers,
there stood a beautiful empire, ruled by a brutish emperor.
There lived a poor young farmer, named Chang,
who was generous and kind, despite his poverty.
The farmer had an excellent talent,
every day after his work
he used to sit under a tree and draw beautiful
sketches on the mud with little twigs.
One day when he was fast asleep,
there appeared the wish fairy in his dreams
Oh, poor Chang,
your kindness, and talent have pleased me.
I will offer you a magic brush,
that will bring drawings to life,
only if you sketch.
Said the fairy, and placed the magic brush next to him, and vanished.
Not so late,
Hah! If only, my dream was real!!
What? Tell me that I am not dreaming.
Soon, Chang went on to test his magic brush.
He drew some delicious food, and to his surprise
Oh, heavens! The magic brush is real.
From that day, he drew a lot of food and clothes,
to help the poor and the needy, of the empire.
The news spread like a wildfire,
and the brutish emperor came to know about Chang and his magic brush.
Without my knowledge?
Go, get him here, now!!!
The very day, the soldiers bought Chang, to the emperor's castle.
I have heard about your ability.
Sketch a massive golden mountain,
or you'll be sentenced to death.
Your Imperial Majesty! If I do so,
will you set me free?
*Laughs*
Not even in your dream.
You are my slave forever, Chang!
Said the emperor, mockingly.
Chang became sad, on hearing the emperor.
And, quickly, he came up with an idea.
There he drew a big sea, instead of a golden mountain.
Why did you sketch that?
I said golden mountain, now!!!
Pardon me, your Imperial Majesty!
He now drew a golden mountain far away, in the sea.
Again, you have spoiled it!
Sketch me a big ship, now!!!
So, did Chang.
The emperor got on the ship
and travelled towards the golden mountain.
Chang who was on the seashore sketched
dark clouds and tornado in the middle of the sea,
and it came out real.
The brutish emperor got stuck in the mid-sea,
and he drowned to his death.
From then, Chang was set free,
and he continued to help the poor and the needy.
Kids, what have you learned from the story?
The brutish emperor in the story, drowned to his death
because of his greediness and impolite nature.
Whereas, Chang was rewarded, for his kindness and talent.
So, kids, remember, we grow by helping others grow
