I was coming back on my trip to Europe. On board a ship I made acquainted with an American couple. They were very friendly and by secret I told them my real name-Lautisse.. I kept my name in secret because I was the world's greatest painter. I gave up painting and said that I would never touch another brush as long as I live. My new friends and I planned to spend a month in New York. My friends invited me to their place for a weekend. We decided not to talk about art and just relax.
My friend let me finish the post while he was painting his garden fence.
Some days later when I was looking through a newspaper I saw a headline "Lautisse Paints Again " As I found out later a reporter and a photographer of one of the papers arrived to the place where I had spent a weekend. They took a picture of a garden fence. As I know the fence was taken to New York and sold out within a month. There were 30 sections. One of them my friend Geston keeps for himself.
The most funniest thing is that I had no idea when I had painted the fence .I couldn't imagine that it would make such a noise. Then I got down to work and signed each one.

Now we live with different gadgets and are very used to them. If I live one day without gadgets. I would have lived like my parents before. This will be a very interesting test for me. In the morning I wake up with the usual alarm clock. I'll read the news in the newspaper. If I get bored, I'll read books or go out with friends. I'll go to school with textbooks. I will take books from the library and do my homework. I'll take a photos with  a the camera. I think that I will do these things if I live without gadgets.
