The New Barnes Readers, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The New Barnes Readers, Vol. 4

But as the village was so small, Karl wished very much to go to see the world, and to study painting with great teachers. The village people thought that he was already a wonderful painter, because he could sit down before a flower, or a house or even a child's face, and make such a good copy Of it that no one could think how it might be better. They could not see, therefore, why Karl was not satisfied. But he always told them that there were better pictures in the world than either he or they had ever seen, and that if they could once see them, they would never again be pleased with his.
