有一位富翁在儿子很小的时候就失去了妻子,于是他请了一位女管家来当儿子的保姆,并且料理其他的事务。儿子长到十几岁突然生了一场大病,不治而逝。这个富翁经不住再度失去亲人的打击,不久便与世长辞。富翁并没有留下遗嘱,也没有亲人尚在人世,于是政府便根据法令将财产充公,并拍卖他的遗物。富翁的那个管家是个穷人,但她决定买下一件遗物作为纪念。那是一幅挂在楼梯走道墙壁上的油画,上面画着她照顾了十五年的小主人。多年以来这幅画都未曾取下。 A rich man lost his wife when his son was very young. So he invited a female housekeeper to be his son’s nanny and to do other things. As soon as his son became a teenager, he suddenly had a serious illness and died. This rich man could not stand the blow of his loved ones and soon resigned from the world. The rich man did not leave a will, and no relative was still alive. The government then confiscated the property and auctioned his relics. The steward of the rich man was a poor man, but she decided to buy a relic as a memorial. It was an oil painting hung on the wall of a stairway with the small owner she had taken care of for 15 years. This painting has not been removed for many years.
