Pablo is having trouble with his contribution to his art group's painting exhibition. Nothing seems to be right. His concerned fellow-artists suggest perhaps he would have better joy with a landscape, so he sets off into the country to try to capture a perfect view. By lunch time, although he has done his best, he is not satisfied, so he decides to rest for a bit before continuing. While he is asleep, he dreams that the local animals gradually congregate, and add their own idiosyncratic perceptions to the wet art. Bird adds a bluer sky, Sheep adds a brighter green grass, and Mr Wolf groups all of them together to add focus . . . When Pablo wakes up he knows just what to do to make his painting right!
