여백의 미?

Olga가 채워줄 수 있기를...

원고를 쓰면서, 삽화를 함께 배울 걸 그랬다.

그동안의 시간 동안 쭈욱 그려왔다면?

쓰는 것도 꾸준히 안 써왔던 사람이,

내 것이 아니라고 생각했던 일러스트레이션을?

이 공백의 페이지를 어떻게 채워볼까.

등장인물이 많아졌다.

다 뺄까. 삽화가 없어서?

일단 가자.

So Angela asks Becky and Becky gives her an idea.

[Illustration: Becky spraying repellent while holding her nose: “With only one pump, no birds will come around!”]

Does it work? NOOOOO!

Angela does not like the deep dark, strong smell of it herself.

Again, Angela asks Tommy and Tommy gives her another idea.

[Illustration: Eating all the figs. Tommy says ‘Eat all the figs before the birds!’]

Does it work? NOOOOO!

Angela tries it and she has a bubbly tummy all night.

Angela is fed up.

“This is it!” Angela stamps her feet.

She no longer wants the fig tree in her garden.

She is sadder than sad.

She is crosser than cross.

Oh no, what can she do?

All she can think about is her fig tree, whether she is walking, eating or even sleeping… until one day…

“Hang on a minute.” Angela had an idea.

First, she takes out a hammer.

Then, she fetches some sticks.

Next, she brings out a ladder.

Finally, she spreads out something very special.

What could it be?

A-ha! Of course she wants the fig tree in her garden!

Every morning at ten o'clock, Angela can have her tea under the fig tree.

Every afternoon at five o'clock, Angela can have her dinner under the fig tree.

Not a single bird can have a single fig from her garden anymore.
