Before the auction， the art works were shown， among which was a painting of Fitzgerald’s son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality， it received little attention.

When it was time for the auction， the auctioneer asked the crowd to pay attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald’s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.

The poor—quality painting didn’t receive any bidders， except one old man who had served the son and loved him， and who offered the only bid.

As soon as the man bought the painting for less than one English pound， the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet， and the lawyer read from the will，“Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection.” Then the auction was over and the buyers left unwillingly.
