一位富翁和他儿子爱好收藏画，他们收藏了从毕加索到拉费奥等很多艺术品。常常他俩坐在一起欣赏着大师的作品。whn th vitnam conflict brok out, th son wnt to war. h was vry couragous and did in battl whil rscuing anothr soldir. th fathr was notifid and grivd dply for his only son.当越战爆发的时候，儿子投入了战争。他非常勇敢，在一次作战中因为抢救战友而牺牲了。父亲接到了通知，深深地哀恸他唯一的儿子。about a month latr, just bfor christmas, thr was a knock at th door. a young man stood thr with a larg packag in his hands. h said "sir, you don'tknow m, but i am th soldir for whom your son gav his lif. h savd many livs that day, and h was carrying m to safty whn a bullt struck him in thhart and h did instantly. h oftn talkd about you and your lov for art.’’ th young man hld out his packag.

"oh no, sir, i could nvr rpay what you son did for m. it's a gift.约一个月之后，正好是圣诞节前，门上传来敲门声。一位年轻人站在那里，手里拿着一个很大的包裹。他说道：“先生，你不认识我，我就是你儿子为了救我而牺牲的那个战士。那天他救了很多人，当他背着我走向安全地带的时候，一颗子弹击中了他的心脏，他顿时就牺牲了。他常常说起你和你对艺术的爱好，”年轻人举起他的包裹，“我知道这不算什么，我是真的不怎样的艺术家，但我想你儿子会要你保留这幅画的。”父亲打开了包裹，是他儿子的一幅肖像画，是这年轻人画的。他惊奇地注视着画中那士兵是如何捕捉到他儿子的个性的。父亲如此地被画里的眼睛吸引，他自己的眼睛也充满了泪水。他谢了那年轻人并提议买下这幅画。“噢，不要钱，先生，我永远不能偿还你儿子给我做的一切。这是礼物。”th fathr hung th portrait ovr his mantl. vry tim visitors cam to his hom h took thm to s th portrait of his son bfor h showd thm any of th othr grat works h had collctd.父亲把这肖像画挂在壁炉架上，每次有客人来他家拜访，他总是在给他们看他收藏的许多名作之前，先带他们看儿子的肖像。th man did a fw months latr. thr was to b a grat auction of his grat works of art. many popl gathrd, xcitd ovr sing th grat paintings andhaving an opportunity to purchas on for thir collction. on th platform sat th portrait of his son. th auctionr poundd his gavl, "w will start with this portrait of th son. who will bid for this pictur?富翁在几个月之后死了。他的伟大收藏也将要被拍卖掉。许多人聚集着，为能一睹这些伟大的收藏以及能从他的收藏里买一个加入自己的收藏品这一机会而激动不已。在讲台上安置着那儿子的肖像画thr was silnc. thn a ! voic in th back of th room shoutd "w want to s th famous paintings. skip this on."场面非常安静。这时有一个声音在厅堂的后面叫道：“我们要看名画，跳过这一幅。”but th auctionr prsistd, "will somon bid for this painting? who will start th bidding? $100, $200?"但拍卖经纪人坚持着：“有没有人投这幅画的标?谁先开始?一百，两百?anothr voic shoutd angrily, "w didn't com hr to s this painting. w cam to s th van gohs, th rmbrandts. gt on with th ral bids".另外一个声音高喊着，非常愤怒：“我们不是来这里看这幅画的，我们是来看梵高的画，看伦伯朗的画的。快进入真正的竞标吧。”but still th auctionr continud, "th son! th son! who will tak th son?" finally, a voic cam from th vry back of th room. it was th longtimgardnr of th man and his son.
