Vincent loves his parents very much. The problem (问题) is, they are always telling him what to do and how he should feel! His father is a great man. He thinks that the most important things are having good 1 , being nice and teaching others how to be good. Vincent's mum is called Anna. She is nice, but has a sad way of 2 life. "Bad things can come out at any time!" she says to him. "The best thing you can do is to keep 3 Just find something useful to do every day. "
Vincent does his best to 4 his parents, but he has a fire in his heart, as bright as his red hair. His father wants to teach him the rules (规则), but the boy would not 5 . His mother shows him how to draw, and he 6 it-but she is angry about the things he draws. "Why are you drawing untidy7 houses and fields? You should do beautiful flowers!" So Vincent draws some nice flowers to keep her happy.
The real problem is that Vincent feels trapped (感觉被困住) in the small house they live in, with its grey walls and strict rules. Drawing helps him to relax, and so does 8 . He likes stories by writers like Shakespeare and Goethe. In their books, people are always with strong feelings-just like him! "At last I will get to 9 the world!" Vincent says to himself.
His strong feelings keep the fire inside him, and the red-haired boy, Vincent van Gogh, does not know it, he will one day change (改变) the10 of art forever!
