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.
