Rosalie and Conrad love it when Uncle Satie comes to visit, because he always has exciting stories to tell about his adventures abroad. This year he went to Paris, where he found himself at the center of an art dispute. It all began one Sunday evening when his friends invited him to an art show. The famous painter Pablo was to show his work, when, unexpectedly, the famous artist Henri arrived from Nice with his new paintings. Soon the two began to argue about who was the better artist—and it was up to Mr. Satie to help end the argument so the painters could become friends.
