( Rita was painting a picture of Tom )
Hugo: Hi Rita what are you doing?
Rita: I'm painting a picture of Tom now then I want you give me your best smile.
( Tom gave a small but average smile )
Rita: That's good.
Tom: When can I see it?
Rita: Pretty soon Tom.
( After a few seconds Rita was done )
Rita: I'm finished come over and see it Tom.
( Tom walked over to Rita and was amazed by the picture )
Tom: Oh it looks just like me I love it.
Rita: I'm glad you like it Tom now I have to go and mind my siblings while my Mom is out shopping see you later.
Tom: Bye thank you.
Hugo: Here Tom I baked us some banana muffins for us to share.
Tom: Yummy.
( Tom placed the picture on the floor while he and Hugo shared the banana muffins together Tom enjoyed the taste so much he began dancing )
Hugo: Careful.
Tom: Phew that was close.
Hugo: Watch out.
( Tom accidentally knocked over a jar of black paint and it spilled all over the picture )
Hugo: For the paint.
Tom: Oh no.
Hugo: What is Rita going to say when she see this?
Tom: Maybe she won't notice.
Hugo: But the picture has black spots all over it.
Tom: Maybe I can wipe them off.
Hugo: You better be careful Tom or else you're going to.
( Tom accidentally ripped the picture )
Hugo: Rip it.
Tom: Uh oh now I've done it.
Hugo: Now she's going to notice.
( Tom feeling guilty about what he did wondered what he could do then he got an idea )
Tom: I know I'll paint a picture of myself one that looks just the same.
( Tom began painting a new picture of himself Hugo held a mirror so he could see what he looks like )
Tom: Hmm I little bit lower please Hugo.
Hugo: This will a lot easier if you could remember what you look like.
Tom: I have to hold this crayon tighter.
Hugo: Gently gently.
( Tom ended up breaking the crayon from gripping it too hard )
Hugo: Perhaps you should try painting instead.
Tom: Oh good idea Hugo.
( Tom tried to grabbing a paint brush but it slipped out of his paws thankfully he thought of another way of holding it )
Tom: I know.
( Tom used his teeth to hold the paint brush )
Hugo: Be careful you don't.
( Tom bit the paint brush too hard causing it to snap )
Hugo: Bite too hard.
Tom: I can't help it I am a cat you know.
Hugo: Well then you need to use something that won't break.
Tom: Something that won't break? ( beat ) I know.
( Tom used his paws to paint the picture )
Hugo: Oh gently Tom gently.
Tom: ( Giggles ) I'm painting just like a real ( rips picture ) Artist.
( Tom had no choice but to start over again he placed a new picture on the canvas and began drawing the outlines of his body he used blue paint to paint the colour of his fur but then was a problem )
Tom: Where's the black paint?
Hugo: You spilled it remember?
Tom: But I'm supposed to have black stripes on my back.
Hugo: Maybe you can use something else that's black.
Tom: Something else that's black ( beat ) I know.
( Tom walked over to a bush that had black berries on it )
Tom: There perfect.
( Tom picked some of the berries he placed the picture on the ground and placed the berries on it )
Hugo: What are you doing Tom?
Tom: Making stripes.
( Tom squashed the berries making stripes for the picture while Hugo placed the mirror down )
Tom: Well what do you think?
Hugo: Uh.
( Tom's picture looked very strange it had an eye bigger than the other a weird smile and the legs were wonky )
Hugo: It does have two eyes and four legs.
Tom: Just like Rita's painting.
Hugo: But I don't think it's going to fool her.
Tom: I should have know I'm a cat not an artist.
( Later when Rita came back she was telling her about her day with her siblings )
Rita: And then we walked home after having fun at the park I can't wait to paint a picture of everything I saw.
Hugo/Tom: ( Gasps )
Hugo: You're going to paint a picture.
Tom: ( Gulps ) Right now?
Rita: Uh huh.
Hugo: But uh ( pulls out banana muffin from pocket ) Aren't you hungry?
Rita: Thanks Hugo.
Tom: Phew.
Rita: I can eat it while I'm painting.
Tom: ( Laughs nervously )
Rita: You're going to have to move if I'm going use my canvas.
Tom: ( Stammers )
Rita: You sure acting strange Tom is something wrong?
( Tom sadly moved out of the way to revealed the ruined picture )
Rita: ( Gasps ) What happened?
Tom: I tried to make one just like yours but.
Rita: ( Sees new picture on the ground and gasps ) It's beautiful.
Hugo/Tom: It is.
Rita: I never knew you were such a talented artist Tom.
Hugo: Wow did you hear that Tom you're an artist.
Tom: ( Jumps up with joy ) I'm an artist.
Rita: I've never seen such a wonderful picture before.
Tom: You can have it if you want.
Rita: Why thank you unless I can paint another picture of you and you keep the new one and I can keep this one.
Tom: Will it look just as good as the first one?
Rita: Of course it will after all you are a wonderful artist.
Hugo/Rita/Tom: ( Laughing )
