An artist painted many pictures of great beauty. But he found that he had not yet painted a “real” picture.
He began his trip to look for the most beautiful thing in the world. On the way, he met an aged priest(神父) who asked him where he was going. “I don't know.” said the artist. “I want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world. Perhaps you can direct me to it.”“How easy!” replied the priest “In any church, you will find it—Faith(信仰) is the most beautiful thing in the world.”
The artist traveled on. Later, a young mother told him the most beautiful thing is “Love”. “Love” makes the world go round. Without love there is no beauty.
Still the artist continued his search. He asked a soldier the same question and his answer was “Peace”. He said, “(83) War is ugly and wherever you find peace, you will find beauty faith and love.”
“How can I paint all of them—Faith, Love and Peace?” He thought and thought. He was surprised that without thinking where he was going, he had got to his familiar place. In the face of his wife and children, he saw Love and Faith. “We are thinking of you all the time. We prayed(祈祷) you would return to us safely” said his wife.(84) The artists sat on his favorite old chair and his heart was at peace.
Finally the artist painted the most beautiful thing in the world and called it Home”.
