go to ruin. don't such things happen often enough? "
pahom, the master of the house was lying on the top of the oven, and he listened to the women's chatter
"it is perfectly true," thought he "busy as we are from childhood tilling mother earth, we peasants have no time to let any nonsense settle in our
heads. our only trouble is that we haven't land enough. if i had plenty of land, i shouldn't fear the devil himself! "
the women finished their tea, chatted a while about dress, and then cleared away the tea-things and lay down to sleep
but the devil had been sitting behind the oven, and had heard all that was said. he was that the peasant's wife had led her husband
into boasting, and that he had said that if he had plenty of land he would not fear the devil himself.
