Once upon a time there lived a boy named Maliang in a small village.He was a very good boy, but he lost his parents when he was eight.He was poor and his life was hard.
从前，在小村庄里有个孩子叫马良。他的父母在他8岁时候就死了，他一个人过着贫苦的日子。
He liked painting ，but he didn’t have a paintbrush. He never lost his heart, he practiced painting with a stick,he painted swimming fish on a rock, he painted birds on the ground.
马良从小就喜欢画画，可是，他穷得连一支笔也买不起。他没有灰心，他每天用心苦练。到山上打柴时，就折一根树枝，在沙地上学着画飞鸟。到河边割草时，就用草根蘸着河水，在石头上学着描游鱼。
Afterwards he had a paintbrush, it was magic.He painted a bird on the wall, then the bird flew away.Maliang was a good boy, he helped people with his magic paintbrush. There was an old woman, she didn’t have food. Maliang painted food, then the food was real.
后来，他得到了一支神笔。当他在墙上画一只鸟时，鸟会飞走。马良是个好孩子，用自己的神笔帮助穷人。一个老奶奶没有食物吃，马良画了一些食物，食物变成真的了。
A bad man knew it. He was greedy and never helped people.
一个坏人知道了此事，他很贪婪，从来不帮助别人。He took Maliang’s paintebrush and painted gold. But it didn’t make gold, it made a snake.
他拿走了马良的画笔，画金子，但是没有变成金子，变成了蛇。
The bad man was angry,. The magic paintbrush din’t help him, it only helped Maliang. So he took Maliang away.
坏人生气了，神笔不受他控制，神笔只有马良画画才行，因此，他把马良带走了。
“I want lots and lots of gold” said the bad man,“You paint it!”
“我想要许多许多金子。” 坏人说，“你赶紧画！”
So Maliang painted a gold hill in the sea and a big ship for the bad man. The ship was real.Then the bad man went to sea in his ship.
马良画了在海里的一座金山，又画了一艘大船给坏人，坏人上船出海了。
Maliang painted strong wind on the sea,there came a storm and the bad man didn’t come back.
马良画了暴风在海上，让坏人无法回来了。
From then on, Maliang helped the poor villagers with his magic paintbrush and they lived happily.
从此，马良用神笔帮助穷人，他们幸福的生活。
