Sardarji Takes Art Class

One Day, A sardarji went to take an art class. His art teacher gave the

assignment that he must paint something. The sardarji

did not know what to paint, so the teacher told him to paint that which

he felt was the most beautiful thing in the world. The

sardarji thought, Nothing can be more beautiful than my village, so I

shall paint that. The sardarji spent all his time working on

the painting the next day. He did not eat, sleep, or take a bath.

Finally, he took the painting to his art teacher. His art teacher

was amazed at the detail of the picture, but he said, "No, no, there is

something missing. Go back to your village and see what

you have missed." The sardarji went back to his village and revised his

painting. The next day in class, he returned with the

painting. He presented a black canvas to his instructor. His instructor

said, "What! You fool! I said revise not destroy!" The

sardarji said, "Well you told me to paint what I was missing, so I went

back to the village, and looked for a long time. Then,

there was a power outage, so I thought to myself this is what I am

missing, so I painted black!"
