"Munu, look at this drawing.
It’s really beautiful.
The more you look at it, The more it fascinates you."
"When I see things, I like to draw them.
Tell me what should I draw?
A horse or an elephant?"
"Chunu, look here!
It's so funny!
I drew a pumpkin, But it looks like a gourd."
"Munu, look at this.
It was meant to be a sunny day, but what I drew looks like a rainy day!"
"Let’s draw a cat and see if it turns into a tiger."
"Chunu, should I draw by imagination or by looking at something?"
"Should I draw with my imagination by holding a brush with my hand, closing my eyes tight, and thinking deeply about what I should draw?"
"I drew trees swaying in the wind. but look, Munu!
They have become brooms!"
"By dipping my brush in the blue color and putting a shining drop onto the yellow color, it has turned green!"
"All colors are as beautiful as our friends are.
No color is lesser or more beautiful than other colors."
"Munu, are words or pictures more beautiful?
I think pictures are more beautiful because they look so graceful."
