story for kids : The Magic Paintbrush

The story of Ma Liang is about a poor boy who found a magical paintbrush that could make his drawings come to life. He used this gift to help others, painting food and clothing for the needy. When the emperor heard about Ma Liang's magic, he demanded that he use it to make wealth for him, but Ma Liang refused. The emperor imprisoned him, but the people of the kingdom protested until he was set free. Ma Liang continued to use his gift for good, teaching us about kindness, selflessness, and standing up for what is right.
