Master Dabble is a very clever painter with a very big secret: he cannot actually paint! But that does not stop him from tricking the King, the Queen, and the entire royal court. He promises to create a painting so incredibly lifelike that nobody will be able to tell the difference between the art and the real thing. He flatters the silly nobles and convinces them that his invisible artwork is a masterpiece. Everything is going perfectly for the crafty trickster until a sensible, clever servant boy named Andrew decides he has had enough of the nonsense. Using nothing but plain old common sense, Andrew sets a brilliant trap to expose the sly rogue's game! This funny, clever story shows that you can never fool a truly observant eye.
