What first made Gibran Khalil Gibran interested in literature?

Better phrased, the question would be "who first made Gibran Kahlil Gibran interested in literature?" first made...? Then the answer would be Fred Holland Day. Day [1864-1933] was an American photographer and publisher. He was the first in the U.S.A. to advocate that Photography should be considered a fine art. He also had ample financial resources to establish himself as a noted person of charity of those times. Day spent much time among poor immigrant children in the American city of Boston, tutoring them in reading and mentoring them. One in particular, the 13-year old Kahlil Gibran went on to fame as the author of The Prophet. Therefore it is only logical to assume that Fred Holland Day was the first who made Gibran Kahlil Gibran interested in literature.
