The
Intelligent Artist
A very long time ago, a one-eyed king
ruled a country. He was fond of arts and crafts. He generously rewarded gret a
artists, poets, and craftsmen. However, he was stuck with one major habit. He
never liked any person who falsely praised him! Simply, he was an honest man
and wanted his people to be same.
The king was born with one eye. He had vision with only
his right eye and the space for his left eye was closed with skin.
One day, he wanted a self portrait. Seeing the King often
day dreaming, The Queen curious and ventured to ask him, “My king, why lately
you often day dreaming ? What there is a difficult problem you solve ?”
While, the king silent did not answer the question. And
finally the King telling her desire to have a self portrait. The Queen heard
the desire of some surprise, “Are you sure you want it ?”, ask the Queen. “Yes,
I’m sure”, answer the King.
Finally after a few days of thinking, the King ordered
him duke to create and deploy an announcement to all corners of the kingdom
that the King seeking the painter can paint himself.
“Oh, dukes, I command you to create and deploy an
announcement that I’m looking for the painter can paint me as I am. Does you
could do it?”, said the King.
“Certainly, I will gladly do well”, answerone of the
duke.
The duke spread out across the village to announce the
King’s wishes, they flock go to the village hall to enroll as a painter.
ANNOUNCEMENT
For anyone of you, villagers across this kingdom. The
King holds a contest to find an artist or painters who can paint the King is.
For those of you who are interested please enroll now, because there will be a
selection process in each village, to other provisions will be informed futher.
Thank you.
After the announcement is distributed, three days later
the residents came to the palace to participate in the selection phase one.
They are vying to be able to draw one of King’s favorite items.
Not many know about the King’s favorite items, then at
the selection stage of this one caused many deaths. And finally left only three
artists.
After that, the three artists were summoned to the King.
“Where do you know my favorite item ? But when the announcement is distributed
not listed my favorite types of goods.”, ask The King to three artists.
“I can know the King’s favorite items from my own
imagination. If I cloud know it from my forecasts. And I can know it from my
dream last night.”, answer the three artist in sequence.
Hearding the answers of the third artist, the King was
shocked and asked,“What your dream last night ?”
“I dreamed by one of the artists most you trust and
admire, he told me that your favorite items is a sword”, answer the third
artist.
The final selection was held today, exactly two weeks
after the first selection. Before selection began, in the early morning the
King summoned artists he believes. He asks the artist for help him.
“Can you can help me to be a judge in this contest ? I’m
gonna give the applicable provisions when the contest is underway.”, ask the
King
“Sure, I’ll do your command”, answer the artist.
When the contest began, the artist express provisions the
King want when the competition take place.
“The King asked to three artist to draw his face. If you
do an impeccable job, the King will reward you with more than you earn in your
lifetime. If not, you will be severely punished.”
All three agreed and started to sketch King’s face.
The first artist showed the painted picture of the King.
“Oh no! I feel so bad, as the picture showed that one of the eyes was shown to
be blind. Oh duke, please send he to the jail now!”, said the King.
The
second artist showed the painted picture of the King. The picture depicted the
King having vision with both eyes. “Why I’m feel he was falsely being praised
only to earn the reward and it was also considered a matter of dishonoring the
King’d blindness. Oh duke, please send he to the jail!”, said the King. The
third artist showed the picture, he was very clever as he had drawn the King’s
face with only eye.
When he saw the results of the third painting of the
artists, the King was angry and disappointed to the first and second artists.
Finally the King sent underground prison guards to punish a painters. The first
painter in prison for 10 years and the second painter in prison for 5 years.
Different with the third painter, he was rewarded a fortune. He get a happiness
of a lifetime.
So, from the story we could get a
lesson that we most to be honest person. *ceritainisudahsedikitdimodifikasi:)
