Who Won the Prize
宋德富
Two artists tried to see which one could draw the best picture. The first artist drew a date tree (枣椰树). He put the picture in the yard (院子). The birds came and tried to eat the dates. The judges (评委们) saw it and said, "You have surely won the prize. The second artist cannot possibly draw so good a picture as that. But we will go to see his picture. " They went to the second artist’s house. There were beautiful red curtains（窗帘）on the wall He said, "Lift (拿起) the curtains and you will find my picture. "They tried to lift the curtains but found that they were drawn (被画在) there. There were the second artist's pictures. The judges said, "Birds thought the date were real. Men thought the curtains were real. The second artist has won the prize.
