The artist
There once was a king, who loved the graceful curves of the rooster. He asked the court artist to
paint a picture of a rooster for him.
For one year he waited and still this order was not fulfilled. In a rage, he marched into the studio
and demanded to see the artist.
Quick the artist brought out paper, paint, and brush in five minutes a perfect picture of a rooster
emerged from his skilful brush. The king turned purple with an anger, saying. "If you can paint a
perfect picture of a rooster in five minutes, why did you keep me waiting for over a year?"
"Come with me", Begged the artist, he led the king to his storage room. Paper was piled from the
floor to the ceiling. On every sheet was a painting of a rooster.
"Your Majesty, " explained the artist, "it took me more than one year to learn how to paint a
perfect rooster in five minutes.
