One day, an old man with white beard(胡子) comes to the boy. He gives the boy a pen to draw pictures. Before leaving, he says to the boy, “I know you like drawing pictures, but you can’t buy pens. Take the pen and draw for the poor men. Help them with your pen. The pen is magic.” The boy draws much bread and many eggs, oranges, apples, pears and bananas for the poor man, and he draws coats and houses for them too. Everything he draws can become real things. The boy is drawing and drawing…

Soon, the landlord hears the news. He asks the boy to draw a gold hill before his house. The boy thinks for some time, and he draws a sea first, then he draws a gold hill on the sea, The landlord wants to go to the gold hill so much, but there is no boat.
