The Artist in Me

"I cannot draw", says the little child.

"But you could try," says the teacher.

"I don't like to colour." says the child.

"I'll help you." says the teacher.

"What do I draw?", asks the child.

"You could draw something you like." suggested the teacher.

"I don't like this picture. It's not nice." says the child.

"Better than yesterday." commented the teacher.

"Why do you ask me to draw?" asked the child.

"To see your world, my child, to see your world."
