Nello has a friend, Aloise, the daughter of a well-off man in the village. The father doesn't want his daughter to have a poor boyfriend. Nello who is talented wants to be an artist but when his luck turns, his grand father dies and he is accused of causing a fire, his life becomes desperate. Nello strongly had a desire to see Rubens's triptic in the cathedral of Antwerp. But he had no enough money to go and look at it. One very cold winter night, he and Patrasche went to Antwerp and by chance found the door to the church, where he finds the painting he loves very, open. The next morning people found a dead boy with his dog in front of the triptic. In 1970s Japanese animation company Nihon Animation made this story into TV animation.
