Albrecht Durer was a poor man. He struggled to become an artist. At one point, he almost gave up his studies and painting because he had to earn a living. Another man, who hoped to be an artist, too, offered to get a job to support both of them. In this way, Albrecht could continue studying art. Durer became a successful artist. However, his friend's hands had become twisted and stiff from the manual labor. This man had sacrificed his hope of becoming an artist so that Durer could become one. Durer watched his friend's hands positioned together for prayer.
