Long long ago there lived a king.

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.
