English Original
Ma Liang loved to draw, but he was too poor to afford even food, let alone a brush.
One day, an old man with a white beard visited Ma Liang and gave him a brush. Before leaving, the old man said, "I know you love to draw but cannot afford a brush. Take this one and use it to help the poor. This brush is magic."
Ma Liang drew a cake, and it became real. Overjoyed, he drew a lot of bread, eggs, fruits, boats, and houses for the poor. Everything he drew turned into reality. He drew tirelessly.
Soon, the poor had houses, boats, and plenty of food. They no longer worried about their next meal.
When the landlord heard the news, he demanded that Ma Liang draw a mountain of gold in front of his house. Ma Liang thought for a while, then drew a vast sea first, and placed a golden mountain in its center.
The landlord was desperate to reach the mountain but had no boat. He ordered Ma Liang to draw one. Once the landlord was in the boat and sailing toward the gold, Ma Liang drew a great storm. The boat was tossed violently on the waves.
"Help! Help!" cried the landlord. The poor people watched happily, and no one helped him. The storm sank the boat, and the landlord drowned.
Everyone said, "Thank goodness! Now we can live happily."
中文翻译
马良非常喜欢画画，但他太穷了，连食物都买不起，更不用说画笔了。
一天，一位白胡子老人找到马良，给了他一支画笔。临走前，老人说：“我知道你喜欢画画但买不起画笔。拿着这支笔，用它去帮助穷人。这支笔是魔笔。”
马良画了一块蛋糕，蛋糕变成了真的。他欣喜万分，为穷人画了许多面包、鸡蛋、水果、船只和房屋。他画的一切都变成了现实。他不知疲倦地画着。
很快，穷人们有了房子、船只和充足的食物。他们不再为下一顿饭发愁。
当地主听说这件事后，他命令马良在他房子前画一座金山。马良想了一会儿，先画了一片浩瀚的大海，然后在海中央画了一座金山。
地主急切地想登上金山，但没有船。他命令马良画一艘船。当地主坐上船驶向金山时，马良画了一场大风暴。小船在波涛中剧烈颠簸。
“救命！救命！”地主喊道。穷人们高兴地看着，没有一个人帮他。风暴掀翻了船，地主淹死了。
大家说：“谢天谢地！现在我们能过上幸福的生活了。”
