study at the art college at the same time. After many discussions, the two boys
finally worked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a plan. They would throw a coin. The loser would
go to work in the mines（矿井） to support his brother's studies at the college.
Then, when the brother at college {#blank#}4{#/blank#} his studies after four years, he would support

James
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, and so Jack went down into the

When
James returned, the family held a big dinner to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} his great success. Soon after {#blank#}8{#/blank#} dinner began, James stood up from his seat to drink
a toast to his dear brother. He said, "Jack, now you can go to the art college
and your dream will come true. I will take care of you."
{#blank#}9{#/blank#} Jack said softly, "Brother, the four years
in the mines has done too much to my hands, so it's too late. Now I can't even hold
a glass."
James was heart-broken.
One hour {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, he drew a simple picture
of his brother's hands. This drawing is today known as the famous picture named
The Praying Hands.
