While playing, the children start drawing on the walls of the room. A painter comes to whitewash the flat. To entertain the children, the painter paints images on the walls. But even when he whitewashes over the picture he has painted for them, the children can still see it and are happy. No one knows about their secret gift from the painter.

It portrays love between a child and a dog. Just when the dog was caught by a dog catcher, the boy asks the man to let it go and thus he saves the animal’s life.
