3. The boy in the story ‘The Light on the Hills’ is awarded the Best Painter Award for his painting. At the award function he delivers a speech on how his sister inspired him. Write the likely speech.   
(Hints: went to the field to paint - not satisfied - sister expressed her views - how to make people happy - sister passed away - sad - not confident enough to paint - strange power - painted masterpiece)
Answer:  Respected dignitaries on the dais, ladies and gentlemen,
I am standing here with great respect for my sister. I got this award because of my sister who is no more.
When I was a young boy I wanted to paint a picture and for that purpose I went to the field. My sister also came with me. She said comments on my picture. She said that if I drew a picture with hard work and dedication it would be a perfect one.
Now she is gone for ever. After her death I was not confident enough to draw pictures. But after a few years, a strange power came into my mind. Then I remembered  her words. And for her I painted this picture that is called my masterpiece. It was such a picture I wanted to paint when I was a young boy. The same picture gives me a chance to stand here for receiving this award. I dedicate this award to my departed sister.
May I conclude.
Thank you all.
