Explanation:

After pledging to protect and pray for his grandfather, Vanka continues his letter with a description of his Moscow surroundings. He writes to Konstantin Makarich about the large houses of the Moscow gentry, the religious ceremonies, and especially the different goods and foodstuffs available for purchase. The Moscow shops sell good fishhooks and several different guns, while displays of large fish and various types of fowl have also caught Vanka's eye.

Vanka then includes a Christmastime request in his letter. There will be a large Christmas tree and festivities at the mansion on the Zhivarev estate, and Vanka wants his grandfather to take one of the gilded nuts that are brought out during the celebration and put it aside in a green chest. Konstantin Makarich, as Vanka notes, should be able to obtain this token if he goes to Olga Ignatyevna, one of the Zhivarevs who was friendly with Vanka during his time in the village.

As Vanka temporarily puts his letter aside and gazes out the windowpane, his thoughts turn to the happy times that he had spent with his grandfather. Konstantin Makarich, at Christmas, would customarily go get a Christmas tree for the Zhivarevs; Vanka had gone with him and (despite the cold) had enjoyed the company of his smoking, chuckling grandfather. Suddenly, in the stillness of the forest of firs, a hare would leap up. Konstantin Makarich would mirthfully begin to shout after the quick-moving animal.

Vanka and his grandfather would then take the tree to the Zhivarevs' main house, where Vanka's mother was a servant before her death. Festivities would begin, and Olga Ignatyevna would decorate the tree. Vanka also remembers that Olga Ignatyevna favored him in various ways: she taught him to read, write, count, and even dance. However, the death of Vanka's mother brought these happy times in the household to an end, as Vanka was first sent to stay with his grandfather in the kitchen, then sent to Moscow as an apprentice.

Continuing his letter, Vanka begs his grandfather to come to Moscow and take him away. He again emphasizes the hunger and loneliness that plague him, along with Alyakhin's cruelty and beatings. Then, Vanka concludes his letter by sending his regards to a few different figures from his life in the village—Alyona, one-eyed Yegor, the coachman—and by directing one final plea for aid to Konstantin Makarich.

Answer:           THE STORY VANKA BY ANTON CHEKOV

Explanation:The story opens on Christmas Eve with Vanka, a poor orphan of the age of nine, sitting down to write a letter to his grandfather; this man works as a night watchman for the Zhivarev family estate and resides in an unidentified village in Russia. Vanka has been transferred to new masters in Moscow to live with the family of Alyakhin the shoemaker. This lifestyle oppresses the little orphan, who grows frustrated with the situation and tries to contact his grandfather to ask for help.

As he writes the letter, Vanka recalls his jesting, lively grandfather and his life at the village before he was apprenticed to this new home. The young boy recollects the two dogs, Kashtanka and Eel, who follow his grandfather around the estate and sometimes partake of the grandfather's snuff. As he writes, Vanka also records some of the harsh treatment that he has received at the hands of Alyakhin, Alyakhin's wife, and the older apprentices. A lifestyle of beatings, scoldings, mockery, and unsatisfactory food has driven Vanka to crave escape; he writes that, if he is rescued from Alyakhin, he will protect his grandfather and gladly perform odd jobs.

Vanka also describes some of the goods available in the Moscow shops. Yet his thoughts are dominated by memories of a Christmas at the Zhivarev household, when Vanka had accompanied his grandfather into a nearby forest to cut down a Christmas tree. Olga Ignatyevna, a lively young woman from the Zhivarev family, had decorated the tree; she is also dear to Vanka because she taught him to read, write, count, and dance. However, after his mother's death, Vanka was sent out of Olga's company and then transferred to Alyakhin's premises. Overcome with emotion, Vanka returns to his letter, writing out a plea for his grandfather to take him away. He also, however, sends his regards to a few people from his former life in the village.

After the letter is finished, the little boy puts down the name of his grandfather, Konstantin Makarich. For the address, he writes down "the village." (He is not aware of the fact that letters, in order to be sent, need to be stamped.) In good hopes, Vanka rushes into the street, throws the letter into the nearest post-box, and then goes back to Alyakhin's to sleep, happily dreaming about his grandfather sitting by the stove and reading the letter to the cooks.
