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 until 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 be finished, but your picture will still be there.”
The artist is very happy and thanks the farmer for saying so about his pictures. The farmer smiles and answers, “It’s not that. I have a son in London. He wants to be an artist. When he comes home next month, I will show him your picture, and he will not want to be an artist any more, I think.”
