An Unexpected Help

      Mary admired her brother Tom who was good at painting. Whenever Tom painted, she tried to help a bit, but Tom thought his little sister would just give him trouble. One day, when Tom was painting a picture, Mary stood by and watched. She soon felt bored and went away. Hours past, Tom went out to buy some paints, leaving the picture on the desk. A few minutes later, Mary returned with a bottle of orange juice in her hand. She went up to the desk to see if Tom had finished the picture. Mary watched it closely. It looked beautiful and seemed almost done. Mary thought that one more flower would make the picture perfect. She placed the bottle on the desk and started to paint. Accidentally, she knocked over the bottle. Before she knew what happened, the juice was all over the picture. Mary was frightened. She hurried to clean it up. This caused a greater mess. The picture seemed totally ruined. At that moment, Tom came back. Mary cried and pointed at the picture. Tom looked at it for a while and said happily, “How did you do that? I love it!”
