0:00:10 > 0:00:12- 888

0:00:39 > 0:00:40- This story is called...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- ..the Magic Paintbrush.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52- A long time ago, in China, there - lived a little boy called Liang.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- Hello, Liang!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57- Liang was a poor boy.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02- All the other people who - lived in his village were poor, too.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- They had to work hard...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- ..but they were always - ready to help each other.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- That's kind.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15- Ooh, look! A butterfly.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Liang was a brilliant artist.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- He had no money to buy paper, - so he painted pictures on rocks.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- He used sticks for brushes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- What a fantastic picture!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- The villagers - thought Liang was a clever boy.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- They were proud of him.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Early one morning, - Liang had a huge surprise.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- An old man appeared before his eyes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- A magic man...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- ..who shone like silver.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Look!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- "Who is this man?" wondered Liang.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- The man smiled at Liang as he showed - him the paintbrush in his hand.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- The old man said the paintbrush - was a gift for Liang.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Whatever he painted, - the picture would come alive.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19- Come alive?!
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Liang would have to remember - one very important thing.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- He had to use the magic paintbrush - to help poor people...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- ..and no-one else but poor people.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Liang promised to do that.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- The old man vanished - in a puff of smoke.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- How did that happen?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Liang couldn't wait to find out - if it really was a magic paintbrush.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- With a swish of his brush, - Liang painted a butterfly.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Yes, his picture came alive!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- It really was a magic paintbrush, - like the old man said.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Liang knew what he had to do.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- He painted things - for his poor friends.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- He painted furniture.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- He painted furniture.- - How lovely!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- He painted clothes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- How very, very posh!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- He also painted food, - to fill their empty tummies.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Ooh! I'm sure it was very tasty.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Liang painted many things - for his poor friends.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- The villagers were happy - and very grateful to Liang.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51- Hooray!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- # On the rock I would - paint pictures, paint pictures
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- # It cheered me up when I felt alone
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- # But I had a dream - and yes, I had a shock
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- # When the old man - put this paintbrush in my hand
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- # And now, when I paint - my colourful pictures
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- # They all come to life, - come to life
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- # Food for everyone - and posh, expensive clothes
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- # They all come to life #
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- The emperor - heard about the magic paintbrush.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- He travelled to the village - to see if the story was true.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- The emperor was a very rich man.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- He was also a very greedy man.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- Boo!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- The emperor watched, - as Liang painted a bowl of rice.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- He then watched an old lady eat it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- If the paintbrush - could paint a bowl of rice...
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- ..imagine all the great things - it could paint for the emperor!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- "Give that brush to me!" - said the emperor.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- "I can't!" replied Liang.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- "This paintbrush - can only help poor people."
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- The emperor was angry!
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- He ordered a soldier - to take the paintbrush from Liang.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28- Do something, Liang!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Liang painted a picture of a kite.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- The kite and Liang - flew high into the sky.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Fly, Liang!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38- Fly like the wind!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Oh, dear! - The kite flew into a tree.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- The kite became tangled - in its branches.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- The soldier took - the magic paintbrush from Liang.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- Navy blue!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- "Now I can paint amazing things - for myself!" said the emperor.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- He found a big field, - where he could start painting.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- First, the emperor - painted a picture of a boat.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- It was a splendid boat, - with golden sails.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Navy blue! The magic didn't work.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- The boat was still just a picture.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- The emperor was very angry.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- "You must paint a picture - of a boat!" shouted the emperor.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Poor Liang had no choice - but to do as he was told.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- The picture turned into a real boat.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- The emperor was delighted.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- He got into the boat - but he soon felt angry again.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- What was wrong, this time?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- There was no sea around the boat.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- "Paint the sea for me!" - he commanded.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- "My boat can then sail on the sea."
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Poor Liang did as he was told.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- The emperor was delighted...
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- ..when he saw the sea - around his boat.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- The emperor soon felt angry again.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- What was wrong, this time?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- The boat didn't move.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- "Paint wind for me!" - said the emperor.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- "I need wind to move my boat - across the sea."
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Liang had to do as he was told...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- ..so he painted the wind - and the wind started to blow.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- It blew and blew.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- "Stop it!" shouted the emperor.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Liang didn't want to stop!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- He painted more and more wind, until - the boat span around in circles.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Faster and faster it span.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- "Please stop it!" - shouted the emperor.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- "I'll stop if you allow me to paint - for my poor friends," replied Liang.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- "Yes!" shouted the emperor.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Liang stopped painting the wind.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- The emperor was sorry - for being so greedy.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- He'd learned his lesson.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- That's better, emperor!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- He was happy - for Liang to keep the brush.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Liang's friends were happy and now, - his good work could continue.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- He could keep helping - his poor friends.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Liang, his friends - and even the emperor...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- ..lived happily ever after.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- The End.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- # A wonderful thing, a magical thing
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- # That's the magic paintbrush
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- # Thank you, Liang for helping us
