He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery. He wanted to know peoples opinion about his talent and painting skills. He put his creation at a busy street and just down below a board which read“I have painted this piece. Since Im new to this profession I might have mitted some mistakes. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake.” While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was pletely shattered to see that whole canvass(画板)was filled with crosses, they criticized the painter ruthlessly. Disheartened and broken pletely he ran to his masters and burst into tears.This young artist plained, Im useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint Im not worth being a painter. People have rejected me pletely. Master smiled and suggested, “My son, I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It will work.” Young artist agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica(复制品) of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.“e with me.”master said. They reached the same street early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out another board which read“Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I m new to this profession I might have mitted some mistakes in my strokes etc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it. ”Then they walked back home. They both visited the place the same evening. The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched. They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!24. Thepainterputhiscreationatabusystreetto_.
