WHAT A TEST!
A poor young artist was asked to paint the portrait of a rich lady and he did his best to
make a good picture. When the portrait was finished it was shown to lady’s friends. Some
of them thought it was too realistic. They were afraid the lady would not like the picture.
But the painter felt that he had been successful. He didn’t want to change anything.
Then one of his friends suggested the following: “We’ll leave it to the lady’s dog to
decide if the picture is good or bad.” The next day the picture was sent to the lady’s house.
The friends gathered to see the result of the test. As soon as the dog was brought before the

Everybody congratulated the painter. Nobody knew that the painter had spread some
