Analysis of The painting



I was called to the painting exhibition
I was to judge the painting competition
I was little afraid as i had no much knowledge
I saw a good numbers of colorful paintings at large
But could not judge and thought for a while
A small lad of 10 years came to me meanwhile
He perhaps understood my dilemma in the selection
He smiled and touched a painting in the section
He said" see that colorful painting and what it represents
White color peace, green prosperity, orange brotherhood
So he made my judgement easy and I was touched
