As his master paints a masterpiece, which has been commissioned by the village temple, a little cat watches. The artist draws a snail, a swan, a horse--all the animals who received the blessing of the Buddha. At last, moved by compassion, the artist takes up his brush and draws a cat, and is rewarded for his act of love by a special Buddhist miracle. |
