![A little boy holding a paintbrush]
In a small town in Germany, there lived a little boy named Hans. Hans was extremely fond of painting. He always dreamed of having a magic paintbrush with which anything he painted could come to life.
One day, while playing in the forest, Hans found a glittering paintbrush. He picked up this paintbrush curiously and thought to himself: Could this be the magic paintbrush he had always dreamed of?
![Hans starts to paint with the paintbrush]
Hans held this paintbrush and couldn't wait to draw an apple on the ground. Suddenly, a magical light flashed, and a big, bright - red apple really appeared on the ground! Hans was both surprised and delighted. He could hardly believe his eyes. So, he drew a loaf of bread, and sure enough, a delicious - smelling bread also appeared in front of him.
![Hans painted a little bird]
Hans was so excited that he decided to draw something more interesting. He drew a little bird. As soon as the bird was drawn, it flapped its wings and flew up, chirping merrily above Hans' head. Hans laughed happily. He thought this magic paintbrush was the most amazing thing in the world.
![Hans painted a house and his family]
Then, Hans drew a beautiful house, as well as his father, mother, younger brother, and younger sister. The house and his family all walked out of the painting, and they hugged each other happily. Hans and his family walked into that beautiful house together. It was full of warmth and happiness.
![A bad guy showed up to snatch the paintbrush]
However, the good times didn't last long. A bad guy heard that Hans had a magic paintbrush and wanted to steal it. This bad guy quietly came to Hans while his family wasn't paying attention, trying to snatch the paintbrush from his hand. Hans held the paintbrush tightly and refused to let the bad guy succeed.
![Hans used the paintbrush to trap the bad guy]
Hans had an inspiration. He used the magic paintbrush to draw a large cage on the ground and trapped the bad guy inside. The bad guy was angry and impatient in the cage but couldn't get out no matter what. Hans and his family all breathed a sigh of relief.
![Hans hid the paintbrush]
After this incident, Hans realized that although the magic paintbrush was very magical, it could also bring danger. So, he found a very hidden place and hid the magic paintbrush. Although he couldn't use the magic paintbrush to draw amazing things casually anymore, Hans and his family still lived a happy life.
