Among 18 children, Albrecht and his brother Albert showed great talent for art. They both wanted to be artists, but they knew well that their parents couldn't pay for them to attend an art school. The two brothers came up with an idea one night. They would toss（掷）a coin, and the loser of the toss would have to work in the coal mines（煤矿）to support his brother during his studies. The winning brother would finish the studies in four years and then help the other one do the same. Albrecht won the toss and went to art school. Four years passed. Albrecht became a very famous artist and made a lot of money from his works. It was time for Albert to go to art school.

"MAD" stands for "music, art and drama". It is like a kind of art festival for students to perform themselves in front of people and enjoy the magic of art. At the beginning of MAD Week, we had to wear a hat to school. To my surprise, most of the students made creative hats by themselves. Some girls chose to work as a team and wore hats that looked like ice cream. One boy made a really tall hat that he could hardly wear! As for me, I used paper, feathers and even candies to make my hat creative. I joined the "MAD Hat Parade", too. Groups of students and teachers walked with their fantastic hats. It was great fun taking pictures with them, and I was so glad to have a "MAD Hat Day" like this. It's really a good way for students to show their creative ideas and be interested in the arts. 86.
