There was an art exposition, and the artist who painted

the pictures for the exposition asked the gallery owner

whether anyone had been interested in his paintings.

So the owner said, "I have good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that there was a gentleman interested

in your paintings and he asked me whether your artwork

would increase in value after your death, just like that of

many other artists. So I said, yes, of course, it would.

According to your potential, your paintings will, of course,

increase in value after your death. So he bought fifteen of

them altogether. That's the good news." Then the artist asked,

"What about the bad news?" And the gallery owner replied, "

The guy who bought the paintings is your doctor."

一位画家在画廊举行画展，画家问画廊老板有没有人

对他的画有兴趣？老板回答：「我有站长友情提示和坏消息

要告诉你。站长友情提示是有位先生对你的画很感兴趣，他

问你会不会和很多画家一样，作品等到死了以后更值

钱。我告诉他这是当然的，以你的潜力，死了以后画

作一定更有价值。结果他一口气买了十五幅，这是好

消息的部分。」画家问：「那坏消息呢？」

老板回答：「那位买十五幅画的人，就是你的医生！」
