Question

Years ago, there was an old man who loved his young son very much. And the old man had a lot of art collections, such as the works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many others.

As war broke out in their nation, the son became a soldier and left to serve his country. Only a few weeks later, the old man received a message that his son died in the war.

On Christmas morning, a soldier knocked on the door and said, “I was a friend of your son. He saved my life before he died, I'm also an artist and l want to give you this painting that I draw in the war.” It was a portrait(畫像)of the man's son.

The old man told his neighbors it was the greatest gift he had ever received. The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. According to the will of the old man, all of the art works would be auctioned(拍賣）on Christmas Day, the day he had received his greatest gift.

On Christmas Day the auction began with the portrait of the old man's son. The auctioneer asked for an opening bid（出價）,but the room was silent. Finally, a friend of the old man said,“Will I take $10 for the painting? That's all I have.”The gavel（小木錘）fell.

The auctioneer looked at the audience and announced that the auction was over. He explained, "It was very easy. According to the will（遺愿）of the father, whoever takes the portrait of his son, gets all of the other collections.”
