Vincent loves his parents very much. The problem is, they are always telling him what to do! His father is a great man. He thinks that the most important things are having a good 1, being nice and teaching others how to be good. Vincent's mum has a 2 way of looking at life. “Bad things can come out at any time! The best thing you can do is to keep 3. Just find something to do every day.”
Vincent does his best to make his parents happy, 4 he has a fire in his heart (心). His father teaches him the rules, but he doesn't 5. His mother teaches him 6 to draw. She is angry about the things he draws. “Why are you drawing dirty 7 houses and fields?” So Vincent draws some nice flowers to keep her happy.
Vincent feels trapped (被困住) in the small house, with its grey walls and strict (严格的) rules. Drawing helps him relax (放松). He also likes 8 stories by writers like Shakespeare and Goethe. In their books, people are always with strong feelings — just like him! “At last I will get to 9 the real world!” Vincent says to himself.
His strong feelings keep the 10 inside him, and the red - haired boy, Vincent van Gogh, does not know it, he will one day change the history of art forever (永远)!
