阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.

第一篇
续写第一段：Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. He rushed to the art store in town, his heart pounding with excitement. He carefully selected the special paints and brushes he needed, imagining the wonderful works he would create. Back home, he hid the materials under his bed and started working on his entry whenever his mother was out. He sketched the forest, the lake, and the animals, pouring all his love and longing into the drawing. When he encountered difficulties, like getting the colors just right, he didn't give up. He experimented over and over again until he was satisfied.
续写第二段：A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. It was the organizer of the competition, informing John that he had won the first prize! John could hardly believe his ears. His mother, who overheard the call, was astonished. When John showed her his painting, her eyes filled with tears. She finally understood the depth of his passion. “I'm sorry I doubted you, son. You should follow your dream.” John hugged his mother tightly, tears of joy streaming down his face. He knew that all his hard work had paid off and that his mother's support would now be with him every step of the way.
第二篇
续写第一段：Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. As he walked to the store, he clutched the money tightly, his mind filled with visions of the perfect painting. At the store, he took his time, comparing different brands of paints and brushes, determined to make the best choice. Once home, he set up a makeshift studio in his small room and got to work. He painted late into the night, capturing the essence of the forest, the glimmer of the lake, and the grace of the animals. Despite the tiredness, his eyes shone with enthusiasm.
续写第二段：A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. It was the principal of his school, congratulating John on his outstanding achievement in the competition. John's mother was at a loss for words. She saw the painting that had won John such acclaim and was deeply moved. “I never realized how much this meant to you,” she said softly. From that day on, she became John's biggest supporter. John was overjoyed. He realized that with his mother's love and his own dedication, he could reach for the stars in the art world.
【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work.
