A young painter completed a painting. To get people's opinions about his painting sills, he put his painting at a crossing on a street and put up a board that read, "Gentlemen, I have painted this work. Since I'm new, I might have made some mistakes. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake."

When he came back in the evening, he was shocked (震惊的) to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses He ran to his teacher and said, useless. The teacher said, "I'll let you know that you are a great artist Just paint the same painting again and give it to me."

Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the same painting at the same place. The teacher took out another board which read, "Gentlemen, I have painted this work 1 might have made some mistakes. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it." Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was surprised to see that there was not a single correction.

If you want to see a thing well, touching can help you to “see” it better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass ball is. When you learn all these about the ball, you really see it well. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the differences between two different coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music?They must like to feel the sounds of music. All children soon learn what “Don't touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things that we might buy. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body and the air on your skin. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
