This is a short story by Pushkin, in case you didn't know. Read it a few hours after "Candide" because I needed some light reading before bedtime.
I loved this one. Short, funny, karmic, awesome. I am going to make a part of Hermann's quote my new Hotmail signature... "I am not in the position to sacrifice the necessary in the hope of winning the superfluous." I'll have to remember that the next time I see the Powerball jackpot rising. Haha.
I think I'll do a few more Russian short stories today... thank goodness for Project Gutenberg so that I can get all these classics in ebook format and for free since they are in the public domain.
