This short story by Tolstoy is regarded as one of the finest in all of literature. I've always admired it for its O'Henry-like ending. It would have made a fitting story for The Twilight Zone or for today's Black Mirror. I present it here in a shortened 12 minute version. The full story takes about 40 minutes to read.
