Be honest Poirot....how many sentences before you get it?

Willem wanted more than anything to be an evangelist devoting himself to his fellow man and the Word of God.  Day and night he nursed the wounded, fed the hungry, clothed the poor etc.  A church official found his work lacking and creating problems.  Poor Willem was dismissed from the service of the church - unceremoniously sacked..  Then one afternoon Willem noticed an old man bending beneath the enormous weight of a full sack of coal.  The Dutchman fumbled through his pocket and found pen and paper and began to sketch the weary figure that had so moved him.  Beginning on that day Willem was to capture for the world the torment, triumph and dignity of the people he loved.  The rest of the story is the preacher who wasn't to be, became the artist the world would know as - Vincent Willem van Gogh.
