Solution
Once a painter was painting the life of Christ in a cathedral in Sicily. He finished all his work except the faces of child Christ and Judas Iscariot. One day he found a twelve year old boy playing in the street. The painter kept him as the model and painted the face of the child Christ. Only many years after he could find a person for the face of the Judas Iscariot in a wine bar. The painter completed the drawing. Hence the model for the child Christ and the model for the Judas Iscariot were the same person. This was the Irony.
