But the family was so poor that it was impossible to send 2 of them to study at the art college at the
same time. After many discussions, the two boys finally 3 a plan. They would toss (抛) a coin. The
loser would go 4 into the mines (煤矿) and, with his earnings (赚得的钱), 5 his brother studying
at the college. Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, after four years, he
would support the other brother studying at the 6 .
James won the toss and Jack went down into the mines. James worked with all his heart and his
paintings were much 7 than those of most of his teachers, and by the time he 8 , he was beginning
to make a lot of money for his paintings.
9 James returned, the family held a big dinner for his great success. Soon after the meal began,
James 10 up from his seat to drink a toast (举杯祝酒) to his dear 11 . He said, "Jack, now you
can go to the art college and your 12 will come true. I will take care of you. "
But Jack said 13 , "Brother, the four years in the mines has done too much to my hands, so it"s
too 14 . Now I can"t even hold a glass. "
To show his great love and respect, James drew his brother"s hands with 15 towards the sky. He
called his drawing "The Praying Hands" , which became very famous years later.
