The Artist S1

A woman named Sally Shiner was an aspiring artist. She wanted to paint pictures of everything. She would spend all of her money on art supplies to feed her addiction. Some people like to paint, but Sally was different Sally was addicted. She couldn't survive without painting. If she went a day without painting she would get physically ill. She wouldn't be able to sleep or eat. Sally was slowly but surly losing her interest in painting. It's not that she didn't want to paint, it's that she painted everything she could. She painted every item in her apartment and every tree at the park. She even did the not so original fruit in a basket painting. She started to feel under the weather, so she went out and went on a nice long walk. She ended up at this beautiful waterfall. She started to paint it when she saw something rather peculiar. She decided to leave her art supplies at the bottom of the waterfall. She climbed her way up to the top of the water fall and found a little dog. It looked hurt, so she decided to help it. She brought it back down and rushed it to the closest vet. She let them take care of the dog. When the vet came out he had bad news. He told Sally that the dog only had about an hour left to live. Sally was so hurt even though she just met the dog. She decided to paint the dog. The only problem was she left her art supplies at the bottom of the waterfall, so she ran to the local art supply depot which was next door and she bought all new stuff and rushed back. On her way out she seen a spot to donate money to all the vet shops, so she put all the money she had in there. Then rushed back. She painted the best picture she ever had. The dog sadly passed and an art critic was in the vet shop and offered 1 million dollars for the painting, but Sally said no because she always wanted to remember the dog that saved her life. The lesson of this story is not to let money get in the way of feelings.
