Question

Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children£®In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream£®They both wanted to pursue their talent for art£®After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement£®They would toss a coin£®The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy£®Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy£®
Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg£®Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation£¨ºä¶¯£©£®By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works£®
When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht¡¯s triumphant£¨Ê¤ÀûµÄ£©homecoming£®Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream£®¡°And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn£®Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care of you£®¡±
Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, ¡°No£®£®£®no£®£®£®It is too late for me£®Look£®£®£®look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands£¡The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis£¨¹Ø½ÚÑ×£©so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush£®¡±
To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother¡¯s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward£®He called his powerful drawing simply ¡°Hands¡±, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it ¡°The Praying Hands¡±£®The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, let it be your reminder¡ªno one ever makes any success alone£¡
