An artist goes to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday and stays with a farmer. Every day he goes out with his paints and brushes and paints till evening. When it gets dark he goes back to the farm and has a good dinner before he goes to bed.
At the end of his holiday he wants to pay the farmer, but the farmer says, "No, I don't want money. But give me one of your pictures. What's money? In a week it will all be finished, but your picture will still be here. "
The artist is very happy and thanks the farmer for saying such kind things about his pictures. The farmer smiles and answers, "It's not that. I have a son in London. He wants to become an artist. When he comes home next month，I'll show him your picture, and he will not want to be an artist any more, I think. "
