Take me back to prison

There was a king who thought that he could paint very well. His pictures were bad. But the people were afraid of the king. They all said that they liked his pictures very much.

One day the king showed his pictures to a great painter who lived in his country and said: I want to know what you think of my pictures. Do you like them? Am I a good painter or not?

The painter looked at the kings pictures and said: My king, I think that your pictures are bad, and that you will never be a good painter

The king got very angry and sent painter to prison. After 2 years the king wanted to see the painter again.

I was very angry with you, he said, because you didnt like my pictures. Now I forget all about it. You are a free man again, I'm your friend.

After the dinner the king showed his pictures to the painter and asked: Well, how do you like them now?

The painter did not answer anything. He turned to the soldier who was standing near him and said: Take me back to prison.
