frightened because she did not want to lose Steven so she ran back home immediately and told Steven what
she had seen.
Steven saw some of his friends had already been caught by soldiers. He was very afraid. Luckily, he saw
Mary running to him. Mary told Steven everything she had just seen. Steven packed all their stuffs at once
and ran away. When they left the town, they found that there were so many soldiers surrounding them.
Steven used his new brush and drew a solid wall between the soldiers and them.
A few hours later, Steven and Mary escaped. They went to the cave where Steven found the new painting
brush. They were safe now. ‘Your brush can make anything you draw come true. Maybe you can draw a
peaceful world in Foshan. I hate wars!’ Mary suggested. Steven also thought that he can pave the path for
peace of the Qin Government and Foshan. Therefore, he painted a picture with children playing with one
another, students studying happily and adults working in the field. After that, he caught a pigeon and tied
this picture to his feet. Then, they let the pigeon out. His dream came true really.
Two days later, the day before the war, Steven heard this: The Foshan Government and the Qin
Government are in alliance now. They will never fight against each other forever! The spokesman said that
people should thank a man called Steven Lee.’ When Steven and Mary heard it, they left the cave and the
people of Foshan welcomed them. They became the heroes of Foshan!
Twenty years later, Mary died of a disease. In the same year, Steven went back to the cave and put back the
painting brush in the stone. After many years, a child came into the cave. He picked up the painting brush
again…
