Jimmy began painting at age three and showed remarkable skill by five. He created many beautiful and interesting pictures, which people bought for high prices. They remarked, "This boy will be famous when he's older, and we'll sell these for much more."
Jimmy's paintings were unique because he never used the entire paper. He only painted on the bottom half, leaving the top half empty.
"That's very clever," everyone said. "Nobody else does that!"
One day, a buyer asked him, "Please tell me, Jimmy. Why do you paint only on the bottom half of the paper?"
"Because I'm small," Jimmy replied, "and my brushes don't reach very high."
