"You look 【2】. Why don't you work?" I asked. "Simply because I cannot get work, sir." "If I give you work, what pay will you want?" "As 【3】as I can get bread for my family, sir." he answered.

I decided to find out if he really meant what he said. "OK. I'll give you one pound an hour, if you will carry a brick（砖）under your arm and walk around the square for 【4】hours without stopping. "Thank you, sir. I will."

Reid tried to draw a sports car like Peter’s. But no pictures looked good. He hated them and threw them away.

“Is there a secret to being a good artist? ” he felt sad and asked his teacher Mrs. Lee for help. “Yes, of course.” said Mrs. Lee. “Draw that car again. No throwing away. Give it to me when you’ re done. Then do a drawing every day. Don’t worry about how bad the drawings are or throw them away. Hand in one picture to me each day for four weeks. Then I’ll tell you the secret.”

Reid did as the teacher told him.

One day, Reid started to feel like drawing more. “Is it OK to do more than one picture a day?” he asked. “Draw as much as you’d like,” said Mrs. Lee.

Mrs. Lee smiled and showed him the drawing he did the first day. Reid looked the two pictures. What a difference! The new one wasn’t perfect, but it looked much like Peter’s car.

“What’s the secret?” he asked.

“It’s practice! You drew every day, and look how much better your pictures got. If your work improved this much in four weeks, just think what will happen in three months or a year.”
