单选题 Once there was a famous English painter. His name was
Peter. He was asked to paint some pictures on the walls of the king's palace.
With the help of a worker, Peter started painting on the platform (平台). They
worked for a whole year and at last the pictures were ready. Peter was happy
when he looked at the pictures, because they were really beautiful. He looked at
them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the
pictures were even more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally
he was at the very edge (边缘) of the platform. But he did not know it, because he
was thinking of his pictures. The worker saw everything. "What should I do?" he
thought. "Peter is at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take
another step, fall off it and surely be killed." So the worker quickly took some
paint and threw it at the picture. "What are you doing?" shouted the painter,
running quickly to his pictures.
