Ramalinga's smartness

Once upon a time in a village, there lived a famous painter, Srikanth. One day, a rich merchant in the village, Dhana Gupta, came and asked to draw his picture. Srikanth worked for 7 days and drew his picture. However, Dhana Gupta didn't like the diagram at all, and asked to redraw it. Srikant took another 7 days and redrew the picture. Dhana Gupta didn't like that one as well.  In order to trouble Srikanth, he told the pictures didn't have his features, they are not his pictures and left the place. As two weeks of hard work went in vain, he complained it to Tenali Ramalinga and begged him for justice. Ramaling gave him a trick and asked to implement the same. As suggested by Ramalinga, Srikant wrote "Fool" on one of the Dhana Gupta's picture, "Idiot" on other one and placed in front of his home.
  Dhana Gupta, saw the pictures while he was going on that way and initiated an argument with Srikanth saying, "you defamed me" . Srikanth replied, "When the pictures didn't have your features and not yours, how will they defame you".  Dhana Gupta realized that he was defamed due to his own over smartness, paid for both the pictures and took them with him.
