Imagination

Johan is a clever and smart boy who is 6 years old. He is the only son of Jianna and Liebert. He studies diligently to become the class topper. He is very ambitious to become a Lawyer like his late father. He loves his father very much. His mother is a painter she works hard to study her son. He is a silent boy and speaks with no one. One day during drawing class the teacher asked every student to draw pictures for tomorrow as homework.

Johan asked the teacher: "Why should we have a drawing class ?"

The teacher answered with a gentle smile on her face: "Johan my boy, I know you are a smart boy, every class has its intention. Drawing classes are to increase the imagination of students."

Johan asked the teacher with a doubtful face: " Teacher, what is imagination ?"

The teacher answered it: " Imagination is a thing that everyone possesses it makes it possible to create new things."

But Johan's doubt about 'Imagination' isn't clear.

He sat thinking about it. He observed other students. He doesn't know what to draw. He never drew any pictures before. He only reads books when he is bored.

The period ended.

The teacher shouted to the class at the end of the period: "Students, draw it as homework for tomorrow.

On the way home after school while in the car he only thinks about drawing pictures.

His mother Jianna saw his dull face. She doesn't ask about it. Sometimes he shows his face like this when he is curious to think about something. After that, he talked about it to her without stopping.

After dinner time he went to study in his room and Jianna went to paint a picture. He asked his mother who is a painter. She was on her to complete a picture.

Johan called Jianna in a pleased voice: " Mommy, mommy...."

Jianna asked him: "What is it, sweetheart?"

Johan said: "Today, during our drawing class teacher told everyone to draw a picture. I asked the teacher why we needed drawing classes. The teacher answered me that we need to increase our imagination. But I had a doubt what is imagination so I asked her. She answered me but I didn't get it. I thought about drawing a picture. I have nothing on my mind. I was the only one who had done nothing. Everyone was drawing pictures. Mommy, please help me?"

Jianna kept silent for a moment and said: "So that is your problem."

Johan nodded.

Then Jianna wrote something on a paper.

Jianna asked Johan to read it.

Johan: "A girl running through a paddy field."

Then she kept the paper.

Jianna asked him: "So a girl is running through a paddy field. Which dress is she wearing?"

Johan: "A shirt and Jeans."

Jianna: "What is the color of the shirt she wore?"

Johan: "Red.... no, green."

Jianna: "So the girl is wearing a green shirt and jeans. How did you know that? It's not even in the paper."

Johan became confused.

Jianna said: "Son this is called imagination. Even from a small line of description, we can imagine how it goes. Imagine you are walking through a park, or you're eating an ice cream, you can draw whatever you imagine."

Jianna continued: "Drawing is a visualization of words that are written. If we are imagining something we can draw it. Don't be stressed about how the drawing goes first think about what you draw."

Johan nodded and said: " I get it, mommy."

Johan rushed to draw the picture.

The next day Johan showed the picture that he drew.

The picture depicted His father, mother, and him walking through a street joining hands.
