As you know, Mark Twain was a famous American author and James Whistler was a famous American painter. Twain liked Whistler’s works very much, and there’s a story about the day he visited Whistler in his studio. Whistler was a rather serious person, but Twain enjoyed a joke.

Twain walked round the studio looking at Whistler’s wonderful paintings.

“I like this picture of the sea, ”Twain said.

“Yes, I painted it some time ago. It’s called Angry Sea. ”

“The colours are beautiful, ” Twain said. Then he pointed at another picture. “I like the way the woman is standing in the picture. I like the way she’s looking out of the window. Yes. This picture is quite wonderful. ”

“Thank you, ”Whistler said.

“What are you painting at the moment? ” Twain asked.

“This, ”Whistler said and he showed Twain an unfinished picture. “This is going to be the best picture I have ever painted. ”

“Yes, it is. ”Twain said. “It’s so beautiful. I must touch it. ”

Twain put out his hand to touch the picture and Whistler got very angry.

“Don’t touch it, ”he cried. “The paint isn’t dry yet. ”

“I know, ”Twain said, “but it’s quite all right. I’ve got my gloves on. ”

38  friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about  39  you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let  40  frie-
nds know, but the phone may be fine for others.   41  after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.

Ask friends not to tell anyone else   51  you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell   52  until Monday.” That will give you a   53  to let close friends hear the news from you first.
Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n)   54  may be able to help you
