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.”
