The Painters

GOD gave 3 painters a blank canvas and told them to dip their brush in their souls and paint their nature on the canvas.

The first one was eager to start. Painting with black and white and as he got better at painting he discovered colours, but just as he was enjoying his beautiful creations he ran out of space on the canvas.

The second painter saw the mistake of the first painter, who ran out of space. The second painter was so fearful of painting the wrong things and running out of space that he refused to even start.

The first painter was envious of his blank canvas and still eager to paint more, he offered to paint a portrait of the second painter.

The second painter without the courage to do it himself, agreed.

But as a practical joke the first painter painted a portrait of the second painters poor traits.

The third painter observed the mistakes of the other painters knew he had to paint his own canvas, and aware of the limitations set by the borders of the canvas; he had to think outside the box.

So he covered the canvas in fertile soil, the other painters were confused as who would choose to cover their canvas with soil instead of painting a beautiful picture. They were unaware of the seed the painter planted in the soil and as time passed by, the seed sprouted and grew a beautiful tree with multi coloured leaves, flowers and fruits.
