There are so many things to choose from. I will tell you of the story I would choose. I would choose the story of my great-grandfather. He made pants out of the canvas, and stiching of a tent. He did all the work when he was prisoner of war, he used a knife. The pants are done so perfectly someone could wear them today. He could be depicted sewing the pants, and gradually taking out the threading of the tent he's in.

"I would like to have a picture of my Oma, grandmother, feeding a monkey when she lied in Indonesia. The monkey later became a nuisance. Henri Rousseau painted a lot of pictures of jungle!"

"I would like to see many things in art. Though I would really like to see a dragon in art. Dragons have many details like their face and the scales. If the dragon was breathing fire and they put that in art that would be really interesting. There are many sizes for a dragon's body, but I would like to see a big muscular dragon so that the piece of art could be interesting."

My dad use to hold a gigh rank in the Yemen police force as a police colonel. When the Civil War broke out in 1994 between North and South Yemen, he was right in the middle of that catastrophe. Thousands of civilians were victims of that ward. So my dad decided that Yemen was not a safe country line in at that time. My siblings and I were born in the USA far away from a very unstable country."
