— You are trying to escape an annoying visitor at the exhibition, but he follows you, and you both end up in front of two doors. If you enter the left one, you will have to taste rotten fruit. If you enter the right one, you will have to kiss the boot of some empress. Which door will you choose for yourself, and which will you send your companion through? Imagine that he looks like your Carnelian colleague.
— If there are rotten fruits, it could ruin my health, but kissing the polished boots of the empress is unlikely to. Besides, my status isn't high enough to show off to the nobility. Perhaps it's better for me to kiss the boot. Besides, it will look good against the background of my painting.
