Picasso exhibition in Paris. The artist himself is present at the vernissage. Yankel, who has lived in Paris for a long time, took his cousin Shmul, who has just arrived from the Polish province, to the exhibition.
- Why does he paint such strange pictures? - asks Shmul.
Yankel asks the artist this question and translates his answer for Shmul.
- He says that this is how he sees it all.
- Reb Picasso, - Shmul reproachfully says, - if you have poor eyesight, why do you paint?
