达芬奇画作的神奇功效

                                                     

When Leonardo da Vinci was not yet a famous painter, he once went to a beautiful village. He lived in a farmer’s house. Every day, he went out with his paints and brushes and painted till evening. When it got dark, he went back.
  At the end of his holiday, he wanted to pay the farmer. But the farmer said, "No, I don`t want money. But give me one of your pictures. In a week money will be used up, but your picture will still be here." 
Leonardo da Vinci thanked the farmer for saying such kind things about his pictures. The farmer smiled and answered, "It’s not that. I have a son in London. He wants to become an artist. When he comes home next month, I’ll show him your picture, and I think he will not want to be an artist any more.”
