The worker saw everything. “What should I do?” he thought. “Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take another step, fall off it and surely be killed.” So the worker quickly took some paint (漆) and threw it at the pictures.
“What are you doing?” cried the painter, running quickly forward to his pictures.
译文：詹姆斯·桑希尔是一名英国画家。有一次,他奉命在皇宫的墙壁上作画。
之后派来了一些工匠，支起一个平台。
在一名工匠的帮助下，桑希尔开始在平台上作画。他们工作了一整年，油画终于完成。
桑希尔望著油画很开心,因为那些油画很是美丽。他看了很长时间，然后退一步再看，现在感觉更美了。他又退一步, 然后再一步，最后已经很靠近平台边缘了，但他并不知道，因为他只想著自己的画。
工匠看到了一切。“我该怎么做呢？”他想到，“桑希尔已经在平台的边缘了，如果大声喊叫，他会再退一步，从平台上摔下来，肯定会死。”于是工匠迅速拿油漆泼向油画。
“你在干嘛？”画家喊道，飞快向油画跑来。
