Illustrated by
Ed Young.
An artist is commissioned by a rich man to paint a picture of his favorite horse. After several years, the artist finally produces a very quickly done drawing. The rich man is angry, but he realizes the painting's vitality after seeing the numerous sketches that have evolved into the simple masterpiece he holds. Young's collages reflect the story's artistry.
