TALE OF A PAINTER BOY

PEDRO AMERICO

Pedro Américo, famous painter
Brazilian, Paraiba...
that as a boy not yet
literate, helped in the "Sale"
belonging to his father...
Since he couldn't read or write
to write down what the customer
used to pay later, he
simply drew...
He drew João's face for
example and the quantity and the
product... it was like that!
When the father arrived to check
he asked:
- Pedro who bought it and what?
Pedro showed the drawing the face
of the buyer and the products...
All together with the drawn face:
- Oh! so John bought
   3 kg of sugar, 1 kg of beans
   and 1 can of soybean oil...
- Shapely my son, you are a genius...
A genius since childhood...
  Pedro Américo was a famous painter
a preeminent genius when he grew up...!
