AB - The Canadian Champion, Friday, Seplember 1, 2006 ()Wrý rit / Thanks for the Hand Up! Back in the fifteeîîth century, iii a tîîîy Gernian village near Nuremnberg, lived a famîly wîth eighteen children. To kecp food on the table and clothes on hîs children, the father, a goldsmiîh hy profession. worked almînut ciphîcen hours a day ai hîs trade and any other paying chore he could find in the neighborhîîd. Deupite their seemingly hopeless condition, two of the children had a dream. They both wanîed tri pursue their talent for art, but they knew full well that their father would never be financially able tri send ejîher of them tri Nuremberg tri sludy ai the Academy of Art. After many discussions, the two boys finally worked out a pact. They would tous a coin. 'Me loser would go down mbt the nearby mtneu and, with bis earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when thal brother who mon thne toss ctnnplcted hiîs studies, be would SUppnrt the îîtbcr brînther while he attended schtîrl. They tossed a coin and Albrccht mon the triss and ment off tri Nuremberg. Alberi went dlown into the mines and, for the fient fonur ycars, fînanced his brother, whose work at the academy mas almosi an immediate sensation. By the time hie graduaîed, he mas beginning tri earn considerable fees loi bis cîînmîssioned marks. When he retumed Io hts village, the famîly held a festive dinner tri celebrate his triumphant homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose tri drink a toast 10 bis beloved brother for the years of sacrifice fihat had enabled Alhrecht tri fulfill bis ambition. Bis closing mords mere, 'And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, il is your turn. Nom you can go tri Nuremberg tri puitie your dreani. anid 1 wvîtt irke cire oif yîîîî Albert rose and 'aid softly. "No, hrither. t caintt go tiI Nuremberg. t is 100 late for tue.
