Our mystery artist is our new student Suzy Khan!”Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artists set. “Thank you,” she cried.I realized, at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she had probably never owned anything in her whole life.Everyone started to clap their hands.
