An artist went to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday and stayed with a farmer. Every day he went out with his painting brushes and painted till evening. When it got dark, he went back to the farm and had a good dinner before he went to bed.
At the end of his holiday he wanted to pay the farmer, but the farmer said, “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.”
