Listen to the text. Explain the meaning of the word paint.
One day a painter, looking out of the window, saw an old country man going by and thought the man would make a good subject for a picture. So he sent his servant to tell the man that her master would like to paint him. The old man hesitated and asked what the painter would pay him. She said he would pay him a pound. The old man still hesitated. “Come on”, she said. “It’s an easy way to earn a pound”. “Oh, I know that,” he answered. “I was only wondering how I should get the paint off afterwards”.
