IzumiMiyamaru: hello... I am answering your question about the summary here because IDK why in my answer I am not able to post more comments

IzumiMiyamaru: This is the story of Lushkoff, a beggar. He earns a little by telling lies and thus evoking sympathy in his listeners. One day he comes across Sergei, who does not give him alms but offers to give him work. Lushkoff is weak and unwilling to do the laborious job of chopping wood. But the job is somehow done. He gives up begging. Years later when Sergei comes across Lushkoff, he is no longer a beggar but a respectable notary.

IzumiMiyamaru: Then he discloses the fact that it was Sergei’s maidservant who had chopped the wood for him. This act of her kindness had influenced him so much that his whole life was changed.

Answer:

1.He was a beggar. ... He was a man ruined by his drinking habit which turned him to begging. His drinking habit made him physically and mentally incapable. He was so weak that he could not do any work offered by Olga or Sergei.

2.in order to chop wood, Lushkoff irresolutely pulled a billet of wood towards him, set it up between his feet; and tapped it feebly with the axe instead of hitting it hard. As a result, the billet wavered and fell down. He again pulled it to him, blew on his freezing hands, and tapped it with his axe cautiously

3.The beggar pleaded that he was willing to work but did not know where to find it. ... The beggar made failed attempts to cut the wood and blew at his freezing hands. When Sergei saw this, he felt sorry to have set such a tough task for an unfit drunkard.
