Billy started painting when he was four years old. When he was six， he was already very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures,and people paid a lot of money for them. They said,“This boy’s going to be famous when he’s a little older，and then we’re going to sell these pictures for a lot more money. Then we will get rich.”

Billy’s pictures were different from other people’s because he never painted on the whole piece of paper.He painted on half of it，and the other half was always empty.
“That’s very clever，” everyone said，“Nobody else does that！”

One day somebody bought one of Billy’s pictures and then said to him， “Please tell me this， Billy. Why do you paint on the bottom half of your paper，but not on the top half？”

“Because I’m small，” Billy said， “and my brushes don’t reach very high.”
