A Painter Of 101 Years Old

Last century, there was an American who retired from seventy years of age. He spent his life relaxingly and happilly to enjoy his freedom of doing anything. But, at his eighty-one he suddenly thought to learn drawings. Then, he started to learn immediately, and learned diligently every day. Times went on silently, and he, without realizing the gone-by time of his years, had learned drawing for twenty years already. At that time his drawing already come to a very high standard.
Realizing that the society did not respect old people much, thinking that old person could contribute nothing to the society. He, in order to prove that old persons still could do something good and useful to humans, organized an exhibition of his drawing. Surprisingly his exhibition was very successful, with a headline in local newspaper due to the achievement at his age of one hundred one.
In reality today, old people to live over ninety are few. Even those, who live more than ninety, are mostly not able to take care of himself. This painter of one hundred one was really a very special person to our human example.
