Mr. Brush was an excellent painter. Under his brush, all things were lifelike.
In the palace, there was a little prince who loved painting as well. But he was not gifted and could not paint a picture to his content. One of his servants suggested inviting Mr. Brush as the prince’s tutor. In the palace, Mr. Brush was tested and amazed all present by his sugar painting.
But when being asked to be the tutor of the prince, Mr. Brush found an excuse to leave and sent a message in which he told the little prince that painting was like ruling a country, and he had to bear in mind how to make a perfect painting just like the little prince should bear in mind how to bring happiness to his people and prosperity to the country.
Many years later, the little prince became a diligent and fair emperor loved by his people. When he saw sugar painting during a Spring Festival, he thought about Mr. Brush and the important lesson he had taught him.
