THE MAN PAINTING
(A AND B COMBINED)
What I see in this painting is a man painting a material. One material is a piano and the other painting is a mask of his face. What I see in the background is a light from outside in painting B and in painting A I see a room in the background. A person in painting A is sitting on a chair and there is a bench too. The person in painting A is holding the piano to get something from under the piano. I see another piano in the background of painting A. I think that is a picture framing the background in painting A.

The ring at the top is the whales blow hole. The blue is its eye. The yellow is a big wound that happened when the whale evolved into a vampire whale. The rest is blubber.
Right now it is eating the upper body of the scientist that created him. The line at the bottom is a lever that opens up a giant magnet that is pulling up something heavy. To Be Continued…

THE MAZE
(A)
One day 2 kids went to a park. No one was there. They saw a button on the ground. They pressed the button and a maze appeared right in front of them. The 2 kids went through a door that looked like an N. About 2 minutes later they were lost. They had to go through a painting path, so they did. They saw many paintings that were made back then. Then they saw lights. They went towards the light and the 2 kids came out the maze and went back home.

A WHALE EATING A MAN
(A)
One day there was a man walking down the street. There was a fork in the road. The man wanted to go to the store but he did not know which way to go. There were two signs. On the right the sign said" WARNING," this way goes to a 1000 foot deep ocean. The sign on the left said, this way goes to the store. The man could not read so he said, "you know, I like 1000 foot oceans. I'm going to go there." The man walked all the way until he was 1 inch from the ocean. He fell in and the whale ate him but a magnet was there and it magneted the mans legs so he was alive but he did not have a head.
