Choose the best answer according to the passage you read.

On a snowy day, there was a man walking in a hurry on the road. His clothes were in poor condition. You might think he was a beggar（乞丐）, but in fact he was a painter. His name was Vincent Willem van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent went into a painting store.

“Can you buy this painting to help me pay the rent（租金）?”

“I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are gifted（有天赋的） and I want to help you. Here is five francs（法郎）.”

Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy.

He took the money and said thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.

Near his home, Vincent saw a little girl in dirty clothes shaking in the snow. The girl smiled sadly at the painter asking for some help. It was clear that the girl was hungry and cold.

“Poor child! I should help her!”

Vincent put the five francs into the girl’s hands, totally forgetting that he still needed money to pay the rent. Before the girl expressed her thanks, the kind Vincent had gone away with his empty stomach.
