There lived a family with eight children in a small village．Two of the children loved painting very much， but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at the art college at the same time． After many discussions， the two boys finally thought out a plan． They had a bet． The loser would go down into the mines （煤矿） and， with the money he made， support his brother studying at the college． Then， when the brother who won finished his studies， he would support the other brother studying at the college．

Fred won and Mark went down into the mines． Fred worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his teachers，and by the time he finished school，he was beginning to make a lot of money from his paintings．

When Fred returned， the family held a big dinner for his great success． Soon after the meal began， Fred stood up from his seat and said to his dear brother， "Mark， now you can go to the

art college and your dream will come true． I will take care of you．"

But Mark said softly， "Brother， the three years in the mines has done too much to my hands， so it's too late． Now I can't even hold a glass．"

To show his great love and respect （ 尊 敬 ）， Fred drew his brother's hands with fingers towards the sky．

He called his drawing "The Praying Hands"， which became very famous years later．
