Artist

Once upon a time.... a King was very proud that he had the most beautiful art in his castle, he spent many hours just gazing at the master pieces his personal artist would create. One day as he was wondering through his kingdom he noticed a peddler artist on the side of the road selling paintings and couldn't help but comment that his art was good but that his artists' was the best in all the kingdom. The peddler artists asked the King..."how do you know?" The King recognizing the question was valid he challenged the peddler to a competition between him and his artist. The entire kingdom crowded around as they saw the two artist with their easel's draped with a cloth... the first to unveil was the King's artist... It was the most beautiful bowl of fruit, it was so realistic that a bird flew down and tried to snatch a piece but ran into the canvas instead.... The King exclaimed "you see my artist is so good he even fooled nature." The peddler artist was next to unveil and as the King went to unveil it he ran into the canvas noticing that the clothed canvas was his art and was embarrassed the peddler exclaimed "you see, your artist may have been able to fool nature but I was able to fool you"
