A wealthy matron is
so proud of a valuable antique vase that she decides to have her
bedroom painted the same color as the vase. Several painters try
to match the shade, but none comes close enough to satisfy the
eccentric woman.
Eventually, a painter
approaches who is confident he can mix the proper color. The woman
is pleased with the result, and the painter becomes famous.
Years later, he retires
and truns the business over to his son. "Dad," says the son, "there's
something I've got to know. How did you get those walls to match
the vase so perfectly?"
"Son," the father
replies, "I painted the vase."
