Both began to talk, soldier told man about how his son told everyone his father's love of fine art. He said, "I am an artist and I want to give you this."As the old man unwrapped the package to reveal a portrait of his son. Though it wasn't a work of genius but the painting featured his son face in striking detail. Man thanked soldier for priceless gift and hanged the picture just over the fireplace.
