Answers
One day advocate Sergei came across a beggar. He was crying and requested Sergei to have pity on him. He told Sergei that he had the offer of a position in Kaluga, but he did not have money to get there. Sergei looked at the beggar closely. But when Sergei rebuked him, he admitted that he earned his living by lying. He told Sergei that his name was Lushkoff and that he was out of work. Sergei refused to give him alms. He called his maidservant Olga and told her to take him into the woodshed and get some wood chopped. Sergei could see from a room that Lushkoff was weak as well as unwilling to do the chopping work. However, after one hour, Olga came and told Sergei that the wood had been chopped. Sergei gave Lushkoff half a rouble. After getting wood chopped, Sergei was happy that he had helped a man. He told Lushkoff that he could come on the first of every month and chop wood for money. One day Sergei moved to another house. After the work was done, Sergei offered to find better work for him. He gave this letter to Lushkoff and told him that he would find the job of copying the written matter. In this way, Sergei helped Lushkoff. After that Sergei did not come across Lushkoff for two years. Lushkoff told him that now he was a notary and was paid thirty-five roubles a month Sergei was pleased to hear this. When he used to come to his house to chop wood, he could not do so because he was weak and inexperienced Then Olga would take pity on him and chop the wood for him. He told Sergei that he never chopped a single stick.
