Explanation:

Answer : The story ‘The Beggar’ justifies the proverb “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” Lushkoff, the beggar, is an old, drunkard man. He has taken to begging as he is not willing to work. Sergei helps him by giving him the job of chopping wood at his house and thinks that he would change his ways. However, Lushkoff has no intention to change and does not do any work. All his work is done by Olga, Sergei’s cook. He keeps on coming at Sergei’s house so that he can get money without doing any work and uses it for drinking.
It was only when he sees Olga’s concern for him and her unconditional help that moves something in him and makes him change his ways. He leaves drinking and starts working hard. It is due to his own willpower that he quits drinking and becomes a better person and not due to the request or forcing of someone else. Hence, the proverb is justified with reference to the story.
