1、 Christmas was coming. There was a man in rags ( 衣衫褴褛 ) walking in a hurry on the

road. You might think he was a beggar ( 乞讨者 ), but actually he was an artist. His name was

Vincent Willem Van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent entered a

“I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are hard-working and I want to help you,

Here is five francs ( 法郎 ),” the storekeeper answered.

Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy. He took the money and said

thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.
