In one of the European country, an old man
was sentenced to hunger death, he was put in
prison. The punishment was like that he would
be put on hunger until his death.

His daughter pleaded with the government to

meet her father daily until his death. She was
granted permission, she used to get checked by
prison officers. So that she couldn’t bring any
eatable items.
She can’t see the condition of her father like
this. She looked at her father with the eyes of a
caring mother. So, in order to make him alive,
she used to feed him breast milk on daily basis.

When after so many days, the man was not

dead. The security guards got suspicious and
caught the girl breastfeeding her father. A case
was registered against her, but her selflessness
nature wins the heart of jailor and she wins the
freedom of her father.
The Old Guitarist
Recent x-rays and
examinations by curators
found three figures peering
behind the old guitarist’s
body. The three figures are an
old woman with her head bent
forward, a young mother with
a small child kneeling by her
side, and an animal on the
right side of the canvas.
Despite unclear imagery in
crucial areas of the canvas,
experts determined that at
least two different paintings
are found beneath The Old
Guitarist.
