A RECOUNT TEXT
Jimmy started painting when he was three years old. When he was five, he was already very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures. People paid a lot of money for them. They said,” This boy’s going to sell these pictures for a lot of money.”
Jimmy’s pictures were different from other people’s because he never painted on all of the paper. He painted on half of it, and the other half was always empty.
