Once upon a time there was a dog named Spot. Spot was a very talented pup and had a special talent of being able to make beautiful pigments from scratch. Spot had been making and selling pigments from his home for years and had developed quite a reputation in the village. One day, Spot was walking through town and he noticed a young girl watching him with curiosity. Spot stopped and asked her if she would like to learn how to make pigments from scratch. The young girl was overjoyed and eagerly accepted his offer. Spot then began to teach the young girl the process of making pigments. He showed her how to grind the different ingredients together, mix them with water, and then spread the mixture onto a piece of cloth and let it dry until it formed the desired color. The young girl was a quick learner and soon she was making her own beautiful pigments. She and Spot had formed a special bond and soon they were best friends. The young girl loved to go to Spot's home and work on pigments with him. Spot was not only a great teacher, but also a great friend. He taught the young girl about patience, perseverance, and the importance of taking pride in her work ̶ all important lessons that she would carry with her for the rest of her life. Today, the young girl is a successful artist who uses the pigments she learned to make with Spot in her creations. She cherishes the time she spent with Spot and is forever grateful for the lessons he taught her.
