Answer:
The story, 'The Lamant' by Anton Chekhov, revolves around the central idea that the can driver named Iona, has lost his son unexpectedly just about a week ago and he's in search of someone with whom he can share the feelings and the entire event that has changed his life so drastically. He tries to find a suitable listener in everyone that he finds, but fails to do so. Having no resort left, he explains everything to his horse. It was the horse that appears as the true companion and only then Iona is relieved of all the burden that he has been carrying on since days.
