The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories

CHAPTER XII
27/43

You are therefore at liberty to enjoy life and be happy.
With the assistance of your children you could reach a high state of prosperity.

But now your property instead of increasing is gradually growing less, and why?
It is the result of your pride.

When it becomes necessary for you and your boys to go to the field to work, your enemy instead summons you to appear at court or before some kind of judicial person.

If you do not plow at the proper time and sow at the proper time mother earth will not yield up her products, and you and your children will be left destitute.

Why did your oats fail this year?
When did you sow them?
Were you not quarrelling with your neighbor instead of attending to your work?
You have just now returned from the town, where you have been the means of having your neighbor humiliated.
