she loved painting pictures of plants. 8.1. _____ First he learnt to draw apples, pears and
other fruits.

When Tom was a bit older, he often walked around the neighbourhood with a sketchbook in
his bag. 8.2. _____ Tom hid behind a tree, took out a pencil and drew the man’s face. Then
he quickly ran home to tell his parents about what had happened. Tom’s father immediately
took Tom to the village watchman*. The boy’s picture was so good that it didn’t take much
time to catch the thief. 8.3. _____ But when he saw Tom’s picture he was so shocked that he
said: “That’s me! I stole the fruit.” Tom’s father was very proud of his son.
