When I was four, one day I was playing outside our house. I saw my grandfaher’s truck. I’t was black and looked very old. I thought, “Crandpa doesn’t have to drive such an ugly truck. Maybe I can make it look better.”I got some paint and a brush which were left in the kitchen by my father. I painted the truck white and blue all over.
