Once James Thornhill, a
famous English painter, was asked {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (paint) some pictures on the walls of the

platform was made. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
the help of a worker, Thornhill started painting on the
platform. They worked for a whole year {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at
last the pictures were ready.
Thornhill was
happy when he looked at the pictures, for they were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (real)
beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked
again. Now the pictures were even {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (much) beautiful. He took another step,

of his pictures.
The worker
saw everything. "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} should I do?" he thought. "Thornhill
is at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall
off the platform and surely be killed." So the worker quickly took some paint
and threw {#blank#}9{#/blank#} at
the picture. "What are you doing?" cried the painter, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (run)
quickly forward to his pictures.
