Surprising request of an Artist | Learn English through stories

The Wisdom of Simplicity
Once upon a time, a person asked an artist to create a painting of a horse from a picture. The artist said that it would take him 10 years and he would give the picture back then.
After 10 years, that person came to pick up his picture with the painting. The artist took him to his studio. He took out a piece of blank painting paper and painted the horse with a quick wave of his brush. The person was very confused and disappointed. He asked the artist: “Why did you ask me to wait 10 years if you can paint a picture so fast?” The artist did not answer him. Instead, he took him to another room. It was full of practice paintings of horses everywhere on the floor. The artist said to this person with a deep sigh: “I spent 10 years perfecting the skills needed to paint the picture of the horse in such a short time.”
The simplicity of wisdom thus requires a long period of time to arise naturally. Simplicity is a kind of wisdom. It is a complete enlightenment from complicated situations experienced after rising to a higher level. Simplicity is a kind of beauty and a high-level state that wise people have. When a person truly gives up self, he has no desire for any material [pursuit]. He then possesses the wisdom of simplicity.
