Everything Shen paints with her magic brush becomes real - she paints food for the hungry and clothes for the needy. Soon whispers of her magic brush reach a greedy emperor who orders Shen to paint him a tree of gold. But Shen's integrity and resourcefulness, along with her magic brush, prove more than a match for the emperor.
