    Despite his disbelief, he decided to see if his dream was true. Sketch after sketch, he didn't like any. In despair, he gave up and decided to go for a walk in the park.

    In the center of the park, Jack noticed a beautiful girl painting portraits. He decided to approach her, intrigued by her talent and beauty.

    He treated the artist to ice cream from a nearby stand. As they talked about love, his heart began to stir with inspiration and motivation.
