II. Reading passage
An artist went to a beautiful part of the country for a holiday, and stayed
with a farmer. Every day he went out with his paints and his brushes and painted
from morning to evening, and then when it got dark, he went back to the farm
and had a good dinner before going to bed.
Một họa sĩ đã dành kỳ nghỉ của mình ở một vùng quê đẹp, ông đã ở cùng
với một nông trang. Hàng ngày ông mang dụng cụ vẽ và đi vẽ từ sáng đến tối,
đến nhá nhem tối ông mới trở về trang trại và dùng bữa tối ngon lành trước khi đi
ngủ.
At the end of his holiday, he wanted to pay the farmer, but the farmer said
"No, I do not want money, but give me one of your pictures. What is money? In a
week it will all be finished, but your painting will still be here."
Cuối kỳ nghỉ ông muốn thanh toán tiền cho chủ trang trại, nhưng chủ
trang trại đã nói “Không, tôi không muốn tiền, nhưng ông hãy để lại chô tôi một
bức tranh. Đó chẳng là tiền còn gì? Trong 1 tuần tiền thì sẽ tiêu hết, nhưng tranh
của ông thì vẫn mãi ở đây”
The artist was very pleased and thanked the farmer for saying such kind
things about the paintings. The farmer smiled and answered "It is not that. I have
a son in London. He wants to become an artist. When he comes here next month,

I will show him your picture, and then he will not want to be an artist any more, I
think."
Ông họa sĩ vui lắm và cảm ơn chủ trang trại về những điều tốt đẹp mà bác
đã nhận xét về những bức tranh của mình. Chủ trang trại cười và trả lời “Đó
không phải là tất cả. Tôi có một đứa con trai nó đang ở LonDon. Nó rất muốn trở
thành họa sĩ. Tháng sau khi nó về tôi sẽ chỉ cho nó xem bức tranh của ông và nó
không còn muốn trởi thành họa sĩ một chút nào nữa, Tôi nghĩ thế”
