Summary: | "A certain king built himself a palace and summoned two persons to decorate it for him. The king divided his palace into two parts, putting one person in charge of one half and the second in charge of the other.

But the second person painted his half of the palace with black dye which was reflecting everything like a mirror.

Not only that, but even all the king could wish to put in the first half of his palace appeared in the second half. This found favor in the eyes of the king"-- |
