Question
English Question on The beggar
During their conversation Lushkoff reveals that Sergei’s cook, Olga, is responsible for the positive change in him. How has Olga saved Lushkoff?
Answer
Olga takes pity on Llushkoff. She knows that such a weak man can’t chop wood. She helped him by chopping wood in his place. No matter how much abusive Olga was in her words, deep inside she had a helping attitude.
The very act of Olga changes Lushkoff’s heart. Had Olga not helped Lushkloff in chopping wood he would not have got the money he needed. He would not have got the chance to listen to Olga’s moral lessons.
