单选题 An artist went to the country for a holiday, and stayed with a farmer. Every day he went out with his brushes and painted from morning till night, and then when it got dark, he went back to the farm and had a good supper before he went to bed.
At the end of his holiday he wanted to pay the farmer, but the farmer said, "No, I don't want money. Give me one of your pictures. What is money? In a week it will be gone, but your picture will be here."
The artist was very happy and thanked the farmer very much for that.
