Перевод текста:

Жил-был король, который думал, что умеет очень хорошо рисовать. Его картины были плохие, но люди боялись сказать ему правду. Однажды великий художник сказал королю, что его картины плохие. Король разозлился и отправил художника в тюрьму. Через два года король пригласил художника на ужин и снова показал свои картины. Художник сказал: «Верните меня обратно в тюрьму».
