As you know, Mark Twain was a famous American author and James Whistler was a famous American painter. Twain liked Whistler’s works very much, and there’s a story about the day he visited Whistler in his studio. Whistler was a rather serious person, but Twain enjoyed a joke.
Twain walked round the studio looking at Whistler’s wonderful paintings.
“I like this picture of the sea, ”Twain said.
“Yes, I painted it some time ago. It’s called Angry Sea. ”
“The colours are beautiful, ” Twain said. Then he pointed at another picture. “I like the way the woman is standing in the picture. I like the way she’s looking out of the window. Yes. This picture is quite wonderful. ”
“Thank you, ”Whistler said.
“What are you painting at the moment? ” Twain asked.
“This, ”Whistler said and he showed Twain an unfinished picture. “This is going to be the best picture I have ever painted. ”
“Yes, it is. ”Twain said. “It’s so beautiful. I must touch it. ”
Twain put out his hand to touch the picture and Whistler got very angry.
“Don’t touch it, ”he cried. “The paint isn’t dry yet. ”
“I know, ”Twain said, “but it’s quite all right. I’ve got my gloves on. ”
