III. Read the text.
The great painter Sir James Thornhill was employed for decorating the interior of the dome of St.Paul’s in London. One day he stepped back on the scaffolding to see how his work looked at a distance. His servant, who was standing near, was terrified to see him within some inches of the edge of the scaffolding. At the last movement backwards he would be thrown and dashed to pieces on the pavement. How could he be warned of this danger? If the servant сried out, he would probably in his alarm take a fatal step.
So the man threw a pot of paint over the piece of work the painter was just admiring. Sir James, in a rage, rushed forward to punish him. Thus his life was saved. On finding out why the servant had spoilt his painting, Sir James was glad to reward him instead of punishing him.
