Mary sat at her desk, looking at numbers on the screen. Every day, she made the same reports. She felt tired and sad. "I wish I could paint," she thought.

One day, her friend John said, "Why not try art classes? It could be fun!" Mary said, "Maybe I will."

On weekends, Mary went to her art class. She learned to draw and paint. She felt happy and free.

After three months, Mary showed pictures from her first art show at work. Her coworkers smiled and said, "Great job!" Mary felt proud and strong. Now, she had new energy.
