       Kings portrait 

Once upon a time,there lived a king who had only one leg and one eye, but he was very intelligent and kind. 

Everyone in his kingdom lived happy and healthy life because of their king. One day the king was walking through the palace way and saw the portraits of his ancestors. 

He thought that one day his children will walk in same way and rememberall the ancestors through these portraits.

But,the king did not had his portrait painted. Due to his physical disabilities, he was not sure how his painting  would  be.So he invited many famous painters from many kingdoms to his court. The king then announced that he wants a beautiful portrait of him to be placed in the palace. 

Any painter who can carry out this should come forward. He will be rewarded based on how the painting would be.All of the painters began to think that the king only has one leg and one eye. How can his picture be made very beautiful? It's not possible and if the picture does not look beautiful then the king will get angry and punish them. So one by one, all started to make excuses and politely declined to make a painting of the king.

But suddenly one painter raised his hand and said that "I will make a very beautiful portrait of you which you will surely like". The king became very happy after hearing those words and other painters got curious. 

The king gave him permission and the painter started drawing the portrait.He then started his painting.Finally, after taking a long time, he said that the portrait was ready!

All of the courtiers, other painters were curious and thinking nervously,how can the painter make the king’s portrait beautiful because the king is physically disabled? What if the king does not like the painting and gets angry? But when the painter presented the portrait, everyone in the court, including the king, left stunned.

The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on the horse,on one-leg side, holding his bow and aiming the arrow with his one eye closed. 

The king was very pleased to see that the painter had made a beautiful portrait by cleverly hiding the king’s disabilities. The King gave him a great reward.

Moral : we should learn to focus on good things instead of hiding weeknes.live with positive attitude and solve problems
