And, uh, after this, uh, lesson, more or less, in front of the painting, he says, "Okay, uh, let's meet in 20 minutes and you can have a walk in the museum, and we, we meet at the exit." And suddenly as I was walking, uh, in this museum, uh, I was in a room where I saw, uh, a painting from the Renaissance time, uh, from a German painter, uh, Dürer, and it was, um, uh, a, a dead man.
