The Artist and the Stranger
Part 3 of the series "Pictures of Old"
Author A. Galko
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
this story is, in a number of variants, repeatedly told.
But it happened in our town like this:
In the basement of an old, abandoned house
lived a solitary painter.
He was talented...
but he never had enough money for canvases...
so he drew on his walls, arches and ceilings. Wherever he could: he drew!
In general, art is difficult to live from. [CURE FOR BALDNESS]
He filled his basement with his art, and then the whole city.
[FRUITS, CANNED GOODS, BREAD, ETC.]
During the long, cold evenings, he would sit by the fire and dream.
He gave his life and soul to his Dream, and withdrew from the tedious life outside his window.
But once, the Street Itself looked inside his shack.
Winter had come to the city.
It's her!!
I'm sure it's her!
Of course, he rushed out to look for her.
His Dream lit up his path,
Hope held his hand, and led him onwards,
And his Faith said to him:
"Just look through all the windows without her in them...
and there will be just one left...
the one you're looking for... "
It is well known that time heals all wounds,
but not love...
Our deepest hopes and wishes often get fulfilled at Christmas.
Her!
This must be her!
Christmas Eve can never be an ordinary evening,
That was true for this evening too.
Since that time, the signs in our city...
are painted by another artist.
