Once upon a time, there was a family with 8 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school.
After many discussions, the two boys finally worked out a plan. They would toss(抛)a coin. The loser would go down into the mines and support his brother with his . Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, in four years, he would pay the school fee for the other brother (study)at the college.
One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down the (danger)mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his (teacher). He was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.
Durer returned. When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said (quiet), "The four years in the mines (do)too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can't even hold a glass. "
To show his love to his brother, Durer drew his brother's hands palms(手掌)together and thin fingers towards the sky. He called his drawing simply Hands, but the whole world almost quickly opened their hearts to the great work and renamed The Praying Hands.
The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, take a (two)look. Let it be your reminder: No one can ever succeed alone!
