John was a coachman who worked in the palace. He can paint and had a great talent for art. John’s paintings were very fine and they seemed alive.
The one John liked the most was his portrait of Jane. Jane was his sister who he was very fond of since he was young. He kept that very special portrait in his room in the palace stables. When John was happy or sad, he talked to the picture and sometime he felt that his sister really did reply.
All this talking made the other servants so curious that they spied on him through the keyhole. The only thing they could see was a face on the painting, which they mistook for the face of a real young lady.
Very soon, people were talking about the young lady whom John had hidden in his room. Finally, even the prince heard the servants in the palace saying about the lady who asked them where is she and went to peep through the keyhole.
When his eyes fell on Jane’s face, he fell in love with her at that moment. When he knew that the lady really exists, John was asked by the prince personally to bring his sister to the palace.
After seeing her, the prince married her on the day they met. Jane became the princess and as for John, he was able to spend all his time painting instead of being a coachman.
