Readers digest version.

2 friends, both artists, both devout in their faith. They were poor and dreamed of going to a certain school, the best to go to for studying art. They came up with a plan to work and pay for each others tuition. One would go and graduate, the other would work and pay. Then the other would go to school while the graduate would sell his art and pay. The first to go graduated. He came back only to find his friend, who worked to pay his tuition. Had a busted and wrecked body due to the hard laborious work he had to do to pay for such a prestigious school. And now that it was his turn to work, his friend was so busted up, he could no longer paint. As you can see from the bent and busted hands. Even so, his friend's faith was as strong as ever. He was so moved by his faith in spite of all that had happened. He saw him praying and this is what he put on blue hued paper, drawn in black.
