Read the passage and answer True or False.

Leo was a young artist who loved to explore new places with his sketchbook. One day, he visited a busy floating market in Thailand. The canals were congested with long boats selling exotic fruits and colorful handmade batik fabrics. The sounds and smells were overwhelming, and Leo had nothing to draw because it was too chaotic. He saw a street vendor haggling with a tourist over the price of a small wooden elephant.

She smiled at him. “There is beauty everywhere,” she said, “not just in the busy places.” Leo felt inspired. He sat down, opened his sketchbook, and began to draw the calm water and the single boat floating by. He finally had something to draw.
