Once, there was a poor orphan boy. He was very fond of painting. Though he did not have a paintbrush yet he used to paint scenery with twigs. One day, it was his birthday. A fairy gifted him a magical brush. Whatever the boy painted with the brush became real. So, whenever the boy felt hungry, he would paint food and eat it. Soon, the boy became very famous. The king heard about him and called him to his court. The king ordered the boy to make an ocean. Well, there was an ocean in the palace. Then the king asked the boy to make a boat. And lo! A boat stood in the ocean. But the king was not satisfied. He asked the boy to make a storm. As soon as the boy made a storm, the king and his ministers got drowned in the storm.
