The Fable of the Painter's Drawings

The artist invited the master of the house and presented the two drawings to him, expecting to be recognized by him.

But the master did not say a word when he saw the drawings and ordered his servant to bring matches to burn the drawings.

The painter was surprised, puzzled, he asked the proprietor: "I took great pains to draw these two pictures, but you want to burn it, why?"

"Your skill is certainly exquisite, the painting of the animal's demeanor is also very realistic, but it is contrary to the objective reality." The proprietor pointed to the painting and even said it was a pity: "Look at this 'Tiger King drinking water': the tiger drinks water with its tongue, not as you painted the whole mouth submerged in the water to draw, that's called a cow drink! You look at this 'two dragons playing with pearls': legendary dragons are five-clawed, python is four-clawed. Your picture called two dragons playing with pearls, but only for the dragon painted four paws, this in the end is the dragon playing with pearls or python playing with pearls ah? You say, like this contrary to the nature of things only based on personal imagination painted incongruous 'picture, even if the painting is good, praise more people, and what is the value of preservation? I'm afraid to keep it will only make a mockery of the future!"

After listening to the comments of the proprietor, the painter realized: unrealistic things, although the moment can attract a lot of people's eyes, but ultimately is not worth money.
