An American went to Paris and bought a picture from a French artist.He thought the picture was fine because he had paid a lot of money for it.But when he came back to his hotel and wanted to hang the picture up on the wall, he could not tell which was the top and which was the bottom of the picture.He turned the picture in this way and that, but he still could not decide which was the top and which was the bottom.
Then he got an idea.He hung the picture in the room, and invited the painter of the picture to dinner.When the Frenchman came, the American talked about nothing but the picture.The artist looked at the picture before he began to eat.When he finished his dish, he stood up and looked at the picture again.At last, when he began to drink his coffee, he looked at it again, and found that picture was upside down.
“Why, my friend,”said the Frenchman,“My picture is upside down.”
“Really? Why did it take you so long to find that out?”said the American,“You painted it yourself, didn't you?”
