When I was a child...

When I was a child, I enjoyed watching a cartoonist on television. He had a large marking pen and he could change almost anything into something. He would invite someone to come up to his drawing board and place some scribbles there. He then proceeded to make a very interesting picture by adding new lines to the scribbles. He might change some meaningless lines into a landscape, or a face, or into shading for an object such as an apple or a pear. You might say that he produced something of worth out of the mistakes of others.
