Giotto and his father lived on a small
farm in Italy.
Every day Giotto was sent to watch their sheep
in the hills.
But Giotto loved
to draw. He had neither pencil nor paper, but as he sat in the warm
sunshine watching the sheep, he drew pictures in the sand with a
stick. Sometimes he covered stones with drawings of things he saw about
him.
Before he was very old, Giotto
had(或got)the chance to study drawing and painting
with a great painter. He worked very hard and before many years had passed
he could draw as well as his master.
