MODERN FOLK TALES - ANDREY ILYIN

There was a doctor-artist, a master of brushes and paints. He was an unusual man: he painted pictures that had healing powers. These paintings could cure illnesses, improve mood, and bring back the joy of life. However, no one believed in the power of his art; they considered him a dreamer and a charlatan. The doctor traveled across the country, showing people his amazing creations and telling them about the miracles that occurred through his paintings. However, the people remained indifferent, believing that art was just a form of entertainment and not a substitute for real medicine and treatment methods.Frustrated by his compatriots' lack of understanding, the doctor decided to embark on a long journey. Taking his paints, canvases, and easel, he set sail across the seas to the third and ninth kingdoms, a land of mystery and magic. There, he encountered a wise man who revealed to him the secret of true art. It turned out that the power of the doctor's paintings lay within each viewer, and it was only through faith in healing that they could truly experience its effects.

His name became known worldwide, with newspapers reporting on him, television stations broadcasting his work, and scientists trying to unravel the mystery of his art.Finally, the news about the famous artist-doctor reached his homeland. The people were amazed: how could it be that such a great talent had been living among them and they had not noticed? They began to remember how they had previously rejected his ideas, laughed at him, and called him a dreamer. Now, they regretted their blindness and wanted to correct their mistake.The artist returned home, surrounded by honor and respect. People now understood the value of his art and were willing to accept his help. The doctor smiled as he looked at the grateful faces of the patients who had been helped by his paintings. He realized that art truly has the power to heal both the soul and the body, but it requires the ability to see with the heart and believe in miracles.
