How much land does a man need?
It is an ephemeral story inclined to a children’s audience, the history of the writing León Tolstoi describes the excessive ambition and human greed that was written in 1886, by the Nordic publishing house books that begins following a conversation of two sisters who have a dispute of whom whoHe has more, while behind the kitchen he listens to Pajom a peasant who has worked on Mother Earth and did not possess his own land and after listening to that conversation he plays that the elderly sister is right to say thatLiving how the sister lives better is enough if you just want to spend your whole life sharing with pigs and calves.
But Pajom is a peasant who thought he did not go with the stupidities of the older sister, but that if he needed his own land and that if he had enough land he did not fear or the same demon, what Pajom did not imagine that behind the stove wasthe demon listening and that would put it to the proof of who can be measured more. After here the devil began to give Pajom land using different people the first one was a farmer who passed and told Voga a place where there were virgin lands, where having a good harvest and living with his family. Then the devil continue to send more people and to follow his goal and send another peasant who commented on land that could buy at a good price of better harvest Pajom a person that no land extension satisfies it: the more land he has the more he needs. I organized everything entrusted the house to his wife and went out with his pawn and bought some present that the visitor who passed him had to give it to give it to Bashkires a tribe that had many lands.
Pajom undertook his trip to negotiate with the Bashkires, but what surprises Pajom is the way they have selling, they do not sell per meter or feet they sold for what you can walk in a day before the sun dies. After receiving all the present that I carried Pajom offered, he brought silk fabrics and served them to eat they were delighted with him and offered him to take a seat and say that he wanted, since he had given them present, because Pajom commented on his concern that he was possessing a virgin land with great extension for their crops, among them they talked and discussed the subject spoke a language that different that Pajom did not understand there was a person to communicate what they decided they decided after several discussions to give him what he asked, since he had them Treaty very well after a moment came the bushkires chief to this one, Pajom also served him closely then they told him what that peasant wanted he observed him after a moment I replied that they would sell him and that the price would be the Same 1,000 you believe per day Pajom did not understand completely, but the boss explained that he would have the opportunity to start from a point that he wanted and from there start walking and marking h Asta where he would like the whole earth that he wanted only that he had to return to the point from where he started and that he had to marry the Pajom road accepted and these would go to rest for the next day leave very early.
Pajom’s greed and ambition was so great that he could not sleep about how much land he had, on that night he had a dream in which he listened to a laugh and saw the bashkirs chief and when he approached he was no longer theYes, not the peasant who had first passed to his house and as more and more he was approaching was the man who had told him about Voga and who had long been at Pajom’s house for a long time. He saw that he was not that peasant but the very, demon with his claws and horns and was in front of him and that in front of him there was a man lying on the ground barefoot without clothes just a pants and that the man was dead Pajom looked andhorrified he saw that he was he woke up very quickly and woke his pawn to go for others and go for his land.
After being on earth the boss explained everything and Pajom began to draw his exit point and mark his land, but Pajom was a man who did not stop at his desire to have more, to possess more than others, to live wellIn his concept of abundance blinded by greed and greed, he did not realize the error he was making when he wants more than he needs. Pajom’s dream was fulfilled as the ambition and greedy dreamed that night and greed.
This story helps us to realize that happiness, they cannot be attributed to things, since these belong to us that in the end it will happen as the character of history that all their life I dedicate to ambition and greed while onlyI need two meters for your own grave.
