There were two men, a potter and a painter. The potter was angry at the painter because the painter had made a lot of money and had not given any to the potter when he had asked for it. So the potter wanted to teach him a.lesson. He went to the king and said to him:

«My king, I know you want a white elephant, like the one that only your, father had. I can tell you how to get it. My friend, the painter, knows how to change any colour to white. Tell him to come here and make your grey elephant white.»

The king called his men and told them to bring the painter. Very soon the painter stood before the king, and the king told him:

«Somebody has told me that you know how to change the colour of anything into white. I want you to make my grey elephant white. And remember, if you want to live, you must do it.»

The painter thought, «My last day has come because I cannot change the colour of the elephant.» He wanted to tell the king about it, but suddenly he saw the potter’s laughing face. The painter understood everything and decided to teach him a lesson, too.

«All right, my king,» he said, «I can make your elephant white. But when 1 change the colour of anything I put it into water for a long time. And I have no pot for your elephant. It must be a very large pot.»

«Potter,» said the long, «did you hear that? Go and make a pot large enough for my elephant!»

«What have I done! Thought the potter, but it was too late. He went home and tried to make a pot for months and months. He worked hard, did not sleep well, but thought about the pot and often cried at night. But of course he could not make it.

But one day the elephant ran away to the woods, and that was the happiest day for the potter. He was given a good lesson and never did such a bad thing again to the end of his days.
