Long, long ago there lived a king. He loved horses. One day
he asked an artist to draw him a beautiful horse. The artist
said, 'All right, but you must wait.' So the king waited. He
waited and waited. At last, after a year he could not wait any
longer. He went to see the artist himself.
Quickly the artist brought out paper and a brush. In five
minutes he finished drawing a very beautiful horse. The king
was angry. 'You can draw a good horse in five minutes, yet you
kept me waiting for a year. Why?'
'Come with me, please.' said the artist. They went to the
artist's workroom. There they saw piles and piles of paper.
On every piece of paper was a picture of a horse. 'It took me
more than a year to learn to draw a beautiful horse in five
minutes.' the artist said.
很久很久以前，一个国王，非常爱马。一天他让一个画家给他画匹马，画家说，没问题，
