THE BIG AND THE SMALL

There were two brothers, the big one and the small. They lived with the king and lounged in a corner of his court. The king had many huts and many fields, many coconut mats and containers, many strings of beautiful shells, but he was not happy. The great and the little worked, but had nothing, and probably did not know how to save it. At the king's house, food circulated a lot, but did not always reach them so much, so that the Great, who was always hungry, was unhappy. The king's meals were prepared by many villages in turn. When a village cooked for the king, the aroma of cooking would spread throughout the land, then with songs the people carried the food to the king. The perfume and the songs hit the noses and ears of the two brothers. “Go and meet them” said the big one to his brother. Take the food from their hands, and let your legs carry it before the king. The king will have many good things to eat and much fragrance, and his stomach will be very full, so he will give

To some, painting looks like jam,

they spread it everywhere without 

fear of erasures.

For others, it's like a great kitchen,

they take a long time to prepare

but there's not much to eat.

Others have so much tact,

let them end up in museums.

Some people think they are gardeners,

they take their time to germinate

the next idea they're going to draw.

Still others don't know how to draw

and prefer to study the great diversity

of paintings from around the world.

I prefer to watch and not disturb,

rather than showing them that 

I can't draw....
