🎨 Story Time
One day, a little girl named Mei found a paintbrush under an old tree.
The paintbrush was old and had a blue handle. It looked very special.
"What a beautiful paintbrush!" Mei said.
Mei picked up the paintbrush and dipped it in some red paint. Then she painted a flower on a piece of paper.
神奇的事情发生了！
The flower on the paper moved! It opened its petals and turned into a real flower!
Mei couldn't believe her eyes. She had a magic paintbrush!
Mei painted a bird. The bird flew off the paper and into the sky!
Mei painted a fish. The fish swam off the paper and into a pond!
But then, Mei had an idea. She wanted to paint something big. She painted a dragon!
The dragon came off the paper and flew around the room! It was very big and very scary!
"Help!" Mei shouted. "I need to fix this!"
Mei quickly painted a small cage. The dragon went into the cage!
Mei learned something important that day:
Magic is not about having power. It is about having responsibility.

📖 Translation
神奇的画笔
一天，一个叫Mei的小女孩在一棵老树下找到了一支画笔。
画笔很旧，有一根蓝色的柄。它看起来非常特别。
"多漂亮的画笔啊！"Mei说。
Mei捡起画笔，蘸了一些红色颜料。然后她在纸上画了一朵花。
神奇的事情发生了！
纸上的花动了！它张开花瓣，变成了一朵真花！
Mei简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。她有一支神奇的画笔！
Mei画了一只鸟。鸟从纸上飞起来，飞上了天空！
Mei画了一条鱼。鱼从纸上游下来，游进了池塘！
但就在这时，Mei有了一个主意。她想画一个大东西。她画了一条龙！
龙从纸上飞出来，在房间里飞来飞去！它非常大，非常可怕！
"救命！"Mei喊道。"我需要解决这个问题！"
Mei快速画了一个小笼子。龙进了笼子！
Mei那天学到了一个重要的道理：
魔法不是关于拥有力量，而是关于拥有责任。
