James Thornhill was an English painter.He painted many beautiful pictures.
Once the king of England asked him to paint some pictures on the walls of the king’s palace.The king showed the palace to the painter and said,“You must paint your pictures round the walls of this palace near the ceiling.” Then the workers came and made a big platform.
Thornhill began to paint.He worked with a man who helped him.They painted on the platform near the ceiling.They worked for a year.At last the pictures were ready.
Thornhill looked at the pictures and was very happy.They were beautiful.He looked at the pictures for a long time.How beautiful they were!He took one step back and looked again.Now the pictures were more beautiful.He took another step,then another.Now he was at the very edge of the platform but he did not know it,he thought only of his pictures.
The worker who helped him saw everything.
“What shall I do?” he thought,“Thornhill is at the very edge of the platform.If I cry out,he will take another step and will fall down to the stone floor.It will kill him.” The worker quickly took a pail of paint,ran to a picture and threw the paint at the picture.
“What are you doing?” cried the painter,running quickly back to his picture.
