Just then,another artist said,“Please allow me to work on the opposite wall.I shall make exactly what that man will make on the opposite wall.Moreover,I shall do so without looking at his work.I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between the two walls so that either of us cannot see the other.”
Everyone in the king’s court,including the king and the first artist was intrigued.So the king decided to give the second artist a chance.
The following day,a thick curtain was put in place and both the artists got to work.The first artist brought a regular supply of paint,oil and water.But the second one would come with a cloth and a bucket of water every day.
A month later the first artist said that his work was completed and invited the king to come.
So the king sent a message to the second artist,saying he was coming to see their works that evening.
After seeing the first artist’s wall,the king was very impressed with the painting and gave him a huge sum of money as a reward.He then asked some people to remove the curtain.
The same painting was seen on the opposite wall too! It was exactly like the one on the first wall.But the second artist had not seen what was going on,on the other side of the curtain.
The king gave the second artist a double reward,and then asked,“I am indeed very happy with your work.But how did you do it?”
