The Lazy Artist
A king wished to build the most splendid palace imaginable. After years of construction, it was finally ready to be painted. Two artists were hired to make the palace look like no other in the world. The first artist was asked to decorate one side of each hallway, the second to adorn the facing walls.
The first artist searched the world for beautiful colors and designs, and spent five years painting wonderful images of animals and landscapes. The second artist spent most of his time doodling and daydreaming.
Finally the first artist was almost finished. The lazy artist began to worry, then to panic. With only a short time left to work, how could he equal the splendid pictures of his colleague?
