Exercise No. 5

During a weekend art workshop, Kabir and Zoya joined a group of young painters. They brought colours and brushes, while the instructor arranged materials for everyone. When the session began, Kabir and Zoya worked on their canvas with great focus.

Kabir admired a nearby painting and said that the style was similar to his. Zoya pointed to another painting and said that the idea was hers because she had created it earlier.

The instructor displayed a few artworks and asked, “Are these paintings yours, or do they belong to someone else?” The students observed carefully.

Kabir said, “This one is mine because I remember painting it.” Zoya replied, “That one is not mine; it belongs to Rohan.”

The instructor then compared the paintings and said, “The improvement is clearly theirs.” In the end, Kabir and Zoya felt proud of their progress, and the instructor appreciated their effort.
