One day, Picasso’s watch was stolen.
Pablo Picasso came to London to meet a friend. But when he got off the train, some cunning thief stole an expensive watch from him. Picasso went to the police immediately. The policeman who met him immediately recognized the famous artist, crumbled in compliments and asked how he could help.
- You see, the artist said, I had my watch stolen at the station. They were very dear to me.
- Oh, what a pity! Do you remember what a criminal looks like?
- Yeah, sure. He was of short stature and...
The policeman interrupted Picasso:
- I'm sorry, but could you please paint his own portrait? You're an artist! It's just that our specialist is in the hospital and we don't have another one.
The artist agreed. By evening he had painted the portrait and taken it to the police station. The next day, three old men, two girls, one bus and four crocodiles were arrested on suspicion of stealing a watch.
