Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
The image shows a short story about painting, but the sentences are in the wrong order. Your job is to
reorder the sentences so they make sense and follow a logical sequence. Then, you’re asked to
draw a picture to go with the story.

Original Sentences (out of order):
1. She painted a picture of a horse.
2. Molly put on her apron.
3. Her teacher put it on the wall.
4. Then she set out the paints.

Step 1: Understand what happens in the story
We need to figure out the
logical order of events:
- First, Molly must get ready to paint — that means putting on an apron.
- Then, she needs the materials — setting out the paints.
- After that, she can start painting.
- Finally, after finishing, the teacher puts the painting on the wall.

Step 2: Reorder the sentences logically
Let’s go through the steps:
1.
Molly put on her apron. → First, she prepares herself.
2.
Then she set out the paints. → Next, she gets her supplies ready.
3.
She painted a picture of a horse. → Now she starts painting.
4.
Her teacher put it on the wall. → After it's done, the teacher displays it.
✔ This sequence makes sense and follows a clear timeline.

Correct Order:
1. Molly put on her apron.
2. Then she set out the paints.
3. She painted a picture of a horse.
4. Her teacher put it on the wall.

Step 3: Drawing the Picture
You are asked to
draw a picture to go with the story. Since the story is about painting a horse, your drawing should include:
- Molly (a child) wearing an apron
- A paint palette or paints nearby
- A canvas or paper with a horse painted on it
- Possibly a teacher placing the painting on the wall
This helps illustrate the final scene where the painting is displayed.

✔ Final Answer:
Reordered Story:
1. Molly put on her apron.
2. Then she set out the paints.
3. She painted a picture of a horse.
4. Her teacher put it on the wall.
And then draw a picture showing Molly painting a horse, with her apron on, and maybe the teacher hanging it up.
Let me know if you'd like help sketching ideas for the drawing!
