No one was left in the museum,and John was walking round to see if everything was all right. Suddenly he saw a beautiful painting lying on the floor. John picked it up and gave it to the director of the museum.

  The director called several museums to check and see if it was a stolen painting,but no one claimed(认领) it. So the director decided to hang it in the museum. All the experts came to look at the painting.  Each one said it was

beautiful and had very deep meaning. The director was proud to have such a painting in his museum and congratulated John on his discovery.

  Some weeks later a woman and her little son came to the museum. While they were looking at the new painting,the little boy began to cry. The director went over and asked him why.

 One of my favourites as a young girl was writing. I found that it was a great way to express what I was feeling. I actually wrote journals as early as my first grade. I find them amusing to look at now. I even read some to my son. I noticed that he actually started doing the same thing. He came to me the other day and wanted to read me a story he had written——Sponge Bob Square Pants.

As he sat there and read it aloud to me,it brought a big smile to my face, for I saw myself in him. Recently his school held auditions(试演) for a talent show and he was really interested in it. I remembered him asking me,“Mum, what is my talent?” I asked him to list all of the things that he enjoyed doing. He said reading was at the top,followed by drawing,writing and playing Super Mario Brothers. So I asked him, “What can you do to combine some of those things that people would enjoy watching?”

He disappeared into his room for a while and I began to get a little worried. I know how embarrassed he got performing in front of the big crowds. I heard him rushing down the stairs with excitement.

“I can do a puppet (木偶) show,Mum!” He showed me what he had come up with while in his room. He called it, Yoshi Goes to Africa. What a great idea I thought to myself. I found a puppet show tent online and cleaned up some old puppet friends for him. My son was the only boy who entered the talent show at his school and he won the second place. I was so proud of him.
