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 all be finished, but your picture will still be here. "

The artist is very happy and thanks the farmer for saying such kind things about his pictures. The farmer smiles and answers, "It's not that. I have a son in London. He wants to become an artist.
