Once upon a time, there was a child, named Ma Liang. He loved painting very much.
But he was so poor that he couldn’t afford a paint brush; instead he practiced painting with branches.
One night, he dreamed that someone gifted a magic pen to him,
which was glittering and very beautiful.
When he woke up, there really was a magic pen.
Surprisingly, whatever Ma Liang painted with the magic pen would come to life.
Later, a rich landlord learned about the pen.
He locked Ma up to get the pen and tried to starve him.
However, Ma Liang drew a cake with the Pen, and fed on it.
At midnight, Ma painted a ladder, and escaped.
Ma had not gotten far when there was a burst of noise.
The landlord was riding a horse to catch up with him..
Ma drew a bow and arrow with the magic pen, and shot the arrow right in the throat of the landlord.
The landlord fell down from the horse.
Ma Liang patted the big horse and rode away.
