The Magic Brush is a well-know Chinese classic children's literature book written by famous children's writer Hong Xuntao. The story is based on a popular folklore. In a village, there lived a boy named Ma Liang, whose peasant family was not able to send him to school. However, he still loved painting and worked very hard at it. One day, he got a brush, which had a magical power—if you draw anything with it, it will become reality. So he started to help everyone in his village with his magic brush. This information reached a local officer. He put Ma Liang in the prison and confiscated his brush. The officer found that the bush did not have any power when it was in his hands, so he forced Ma Liang to draw a golden mountain. Ma Liang agreed and drew a golden mountain, but he also drew a big ocean around it. After the officer and his servants sailed across the sea, Ma Liang waved his brush and the officers sank into the water. Ages 4-8.
