　　Mr. Jackson was a painter (画家) from England． One day he was staying in a hotel in Australia． While he was having breakfast, an American who had a picture under his arm sat beside him. They introduced (介绍) to each other. The American's name was Jim Black. He only collected pictures. But when Mr. Jackson asked if he was a painter too, Mr. Black answered, "Yes, I am."

　　Soon they became friends and began to talk something about painting. "It's a beautiful day. Let's paint some pictures in the garden," said Mr. Jackson after a while. Mr. Black didn't know what to answer because he was not able to paint.

　　A little time later they went into the garden with a paint box. The garden was full of spring flowers. Mr. Jackson began to paint but Mr. Black didn't. He was just walking in the garden.

　　"I've almost finished my picture ."Mr. Jackson said． He was going to finish a nice picture of a mother giving food to her baby in the garden.

　　"Beautiful! Wonderful! You are a very good painter. But I'm afraid that you have made one mistake. "said Mr. Black, "When a mother gives food to her baby she always opens her mouth too. " Mr. Jackson laughed and said, "I don't think every mother does that. Have you finished your picture yet, Mr. Black? No, not yet," answered Mr. Black.

　　"What shall I paint?" he thought to himself. Then he had a good idea．

　　Mr. Black said he was painting a picture in only one color. Mr. Jackson asked what the picture was. Mr. Black answered with a smile, "A white cat is catching a white mouse in the snow."
