He also sent six engravings （版画）by an artist. These were the forst pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747，when Benjamin

　　was nine years old，Mr.Pennington retured for another visit .He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked

　　Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.

　　In the city, Mr.Pennington gave

　　Benjamin

　　materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景) painting.Wiliams ,a well-known painter,came to see him work . Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home .The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,”Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night.”While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
