Answer: They are from Russia. We know this because the story mentions Russian currency like "copecks" and "roubles", places like the "province of Kaluga", and the beggar mentions that he formerly sang in a "Russian choir."
Question 3: What does the beggar look like ?
(рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрмЯрм┐ рмжрнЗрмЦрм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмХрм┐рмкрм░рм┐ рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)
Answer: The beggar looked pathetic. He wore a ragged, fawn-coloured overcoat, had dull and drunken eyes, and a red spot on either cheek. He also wore mismatched overshoes, one high and the other low.
Question 4: Did Sergei get angry with the beggar ? Why ?
(рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнА рмЙрмкрм░рнЗ рм░рм╛рмЧрм┐рмЧрм▓рнЗ рмХрм┐? рмХрм╛рм╣рм┐рмБрмХрм┐?)
Answer: Yes, Sergei got very angry with the beggar because he realized the beggar was lying. Two days ago, the beggar had introduced himself as an expelled student, but now he was claiming to be a poor village school teacher.

(рмЖрмкрмг рмнрм╛рммрнБрмЫрмирнНрмдрм┐ рмХрм┐ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрмЯрм┐ рморм┐рмЫ рмХрм╣рнБрмерм┐рм▓рм╛? рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмХрм╛рм░рмгрм░рнБ рм╕рнЗ рморм┐рмЫ рмХрм╣рнБрмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)
Answer: Yes, the beggar was completely lying about his identity. He told lies because he was fired from a Russian choir for drunkenness, and he believed that no one would give him any money or help if he told the ugly truth.
Question 6: Did Sergei help the beggar to find work ? What kind of work did he suggest for the beggar ?
(рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрмХрнБ рмХрм╛рмо рмЦрнЛрмЬрм┐рммрм╛рм░рнЗ рм╕рм╛рм╣рм╛рмпрнНрнЯ рмХрм▓рнЗ рмХрм┐? рм╕рнЗ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнА рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмкрнНрм░рмХрм╛рм░рм░ рмХрм╛рмо рмкрнНрм░рм╕рнНрмдрм╛рмм рмжрнЗрм▓рнЗ?)

(рмУрмХрм┐рм▓ рмЬрмгрмХ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрмХрнБ рмХрм╛рма рмХрм╛рмЯрм┐рммрм╛ рмкрм░рм┐ рмХрмарм┐рми рмкрм░рм┐рм╢рнНрм░рмо рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмХрм╣рм┐рм▓рнЗред рмПрм╣рм╛ рмПрмХ рмжрмгрнНрмб рмерм┐рм▓рм╛ рмирм╛ рм╕рм╛рм╣рм╛рмпрнНрнЯ рмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)
Answer: It was a genuine help, not a punishment. Sergei wanted the beggar to stop lying and swindling people, and instead earn his living through honest hard work and dignity.
Question 8: Do you think the beggar would give up begging and work for Surgei ?
(рмЖрмкрмг рмнрм╛рммрнБрмЫрмирнНрмдрм┐ рмХрм┐ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрмЯрм┐ рмнрм┐рмХ рморм╛рмЧрм┐рммрм╛ рмЫрм╛рмбрм┐ рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмХрм╛рмо рмХрм░рм┐рмм?)

Answer: This part of the story is about Lushkoff trying to work at Sergei's house under the supervision of Olga. Yes, Lushkoff agreed to chop wood, but only because of his pride and shame, not because he genuinely wanted to toil.
Question 2: What did Sergei see from the window of the dining room ?
(рмЦрм╛рмЗрммрм╛ рмШрм░рм░ рмЭрм░рмХрм╛рм░рнБ рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмХ'рмг рмжрнЗрмЦрм┐рм▓рнЗ?)
Answer: From the dining room window, Sergei saw Olga angrily shoving the beggar and throwing an axe at his feet. He saw the weak, drunken beggar struggling feebly to tap the wood, which continuously fell down without being cut.
Question 3: What other work did Lushkoff have to do besides chopping wood ?
(рмХрм╛рма рмХрм╛рмЯрм┐рммрм╛ рммрнНрнЯрмдрнАрмд рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмХрнБ рмЖрмЙ рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмХрм╛рмо рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмкрмбрнБрмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)
Answer: Besides chopping wood, Lushkoff had to shovel snow, put the wood-shed in order, beat the dust out of rugs and mattresses, and assist in packing and hauling furniture when Sergei moved to a new house.
Question 4: What kind of person was Sergei, Kind/ cruel ? How do you know this ?
(рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмкрнНрм░рмХрм╛рм░рм░ рммрнНрнЯрмХрнНрмдрм┐ рмерм┐рм▓рнЗ, рмжрнЯрм╛рм│рнБ рмирм╛ рмирм┐рм╖рнНрмарнБрм░? рмЖрмкрмг рмПрм╣рм╛ рмХрм┐рмкрм░рм┐ рмЬрм╛рмгрм┐рм▓рнЗ?)
Answer: Sergei was a kind and helpful person. We know this because he felt sorry and ashamed for forcing a sick, drunken man to work in the cold. Furthermore, he regularly provided Lushkoff with work, money, old clothes, and eventually recommended him for a better copying job.
Question 5: Sergei said “Well, I am happy that my words have taken effect. Why did Sergei say so ? Was he right in saying this ?
(рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмХрм╣рм┐рм▓рнЗ, "рмЖрмЪрнНрмЫрм╛, рморнБрмБ рмЦрнБрм╕рм┐ рмпрнЗ рморнЛ рмХрмерм╛рм░ рмкрнНрм░рмнрм╛рмм рмкрмбрм╝рм┐рмЫрм┐ред" рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмХрм╛рм╣рм┐рмБрмХрм┐ рмПрморм┐рмдрм┐ рмХрм╣рм┐рм▓рнЗ? рм╕рнЗ рмПрм╣рм╛ рмХрм╣рм┐рммрм╛рм░рнЗ рмарм┐рмХрнН рмерм┐рм▓рнЗ рмХрм┐?)
Answer: Sergei said this because he saw that Lushkoff was completely sober and willing to work without objection. However, he was not entirely right in taking the credit, because it was actually Olga's tears and hard work that changed the beggar, not Sergei's words.
Question 6: Did Lushkoff know reading and writing ? What did Sergei want Lushkoff to do for earning money ?
(рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмкрмврм╝рм┐рммрм╛ рмПрммрмВ рм▓рнЗрмЦрм┐рммрм╛ рмЬрм╛рмгрм┐рмерм┐рм▓рм╛ рмХрм┐? рмкрмЗрм╕рм╛ рм░рнЛрмЬрмЧрм╛рм░ рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмХрнБ рмХ'рмг рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмЪрм╛рм╣рнБрмБрмерм┐рм▓рнЗ?)
Answer: Yes, Lushkoff knew how to read and write. Sergei wanted him to stop doing menial labor and sent him to a friend with a letter so he could earn money by doing cleaner copying work.
Question 7: Do you expect that Lushkoff will get a better job and he won’t come to Sergei for chopping wood ?
(рмЖрмкрмг рмЖрм╢рм╛ рмХрм░рнБрмЫрмирнНрмдрм┐ рмХрм┐ рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмХрнБ рмПрмХ рмнрм▓ рмЪрм╛рмХрм┐рм░рм┐ рморм┐рм│рм┐рмм рмПрммрмВ рм╕рнЗ рмЖрмЙ рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗрмЩрнНрмХ рмкрм╛рмЦрмХрнБ рмХрм╛рма рмХрм╛рмЯрм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмЖрм╕рм┐рмм рмирм╛рм╣рм┐рмБ?)

Question 1: Who were Sergei and Lushkoff ? Describe their first meeting.
(рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗ рмПрммрмВ рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмХрм┐рмП рмерм┐рм▓рнЗ? рм╕рнЗрморм╛рмирмЩрнНрмХрм░ рмкрнНрм░рмермо рм╕рм╛рмХрнНрм╖рм╛рмд рммрм┐рм╖рнЯрм░рнЗ рммрм░рнНрмгрнНрмгрмирм╛ рмХрм░рмирнНрмдрнБред)
Answer: Sergei was a prosperous advocate, and Lushkoff was a lying, drunken beggar. During their first meeting, Lushkoff begged for money claiming to be a victimized school teacher. Sergei recognized him from a previous encounter, caught his lies, and angrily forced him to earn money through honest work like chopping wood.
Question 2: Did Lushkoff become a beggar by circumstances or by choice ? What reasons did the beggar give to Sergei for telling lies ?
(рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмкрм░рм┐рм╕рнНрмерм┐рмдрм┐рм░рнЗ рмкрмбрм╝рм┐ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнА рм╣рнЛрмЗрмерм┐рм▓рм╛ рмирм╛ рмирм┐рмЬ рмЗрмЪрнНрмЫрм╛рм░рнЗ? рморм┐рмЫ рмХрм╣рм┐рммрм╛ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнА рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗрмЩрнНрмХрнБ рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмХрм╛рм░рмг рмжрнЗрм▓рм╛?)
Answer: Lushkoff became a beggar partly due to his own bad choices, as he was fired from a Russian choir for severe drunkenness. He told lies because he knew that if he told the truth about being a drunkard, people would feel zero sympathy and give him no money at all.
Question 3: Why did Lushkoff agree to chop wood ? What were the other things Lushkoff had to do ?
(рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмХрм╛рма рмХрм╛рмЯрм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмХрм╛рм╣рм┐рмБрмХрм┐ рм░рм╛рмЬрм┐ рм╣рнЗрм▓рм╛? рм▓рнБрм╕рнНрмХрнЛрмнрнН рмХрнБ рмЖрмЙ рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рм╕рммрнБ рмХрм╛рмо рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛рмХрнБ рмкрмбрнБрмерм┐рм▓рм╛?)
Answer: Lushkoff agreed to chop wood not because he wanted to work, but because his pride was hurt and he was trapped by his own words. Besides chopping wood, he shoveled snow, cleaned rugs and mattresses, organized the woodshed, and later helped pack and haul furniture.
Question 4: Collect information about Sergei’s cook and write a short paragraph.
(рм╕рм░рнНрмЧрнЗрмЗрмЩрнНрмХ рм░рнЛрм╖рнЗрнЯрм╛ рммрм┐рм╖рнЯрм░рнЗ рмдрмернНрнЯ рм╕рмВрмЧрнНрм░рм╣ рмХрм░рмирнНрмдрнБ рмПрммрмВ рмПрмХ рмЫрнЛрмЯ рмкрм░рм┐рмЪрнНрмЫрнЗрмж рм▓рнЗрмЦрмирнНрмдрнБред)
Answer: Sergei’s cook, Olga, appeared highly bad-tempered, wrathful, and aggressive on the outside. However, she possessed profound empathy and a noble heart. She scolded Lushkoff for his drinking but simultaneously wept for his miserable fate, ultimately chopping all the wood for him out of pure human kindness.
Question 5: What made the beggar change his way of life ?
(рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмХрм╛рм░рмгрм░рнБ рмнрм┐рмХрм╛рм░рнАрмЯрм┐ рмдрм╛рм░ рмЬрнАрммрмирм╢рнИрм│рнА рммрмжрм│рм╛рмЗрм▓рм╛?)
Answer: The beggar changed his life entirely because of the cook, Olga. Her selfless compassion, the tears she shed over his pathetic condition, and the fact that she did all his hard labor (chopping wood) created a deep spiritual awakening in his heart, forcing him to quit drinking permanently.
Question 6: Which character do you like most and why ?
(рмХрнЗрмЙрмБ рмЪрм░рм┐рмдрнНрм░ рмЖрмкрмгрмЩрнНрмХрнБ рм╕рммрнБрмарм╛рм░рнБ рмЕрмзрм┐рмХ рмнрм▓ рм▓рм╛рмЧрнЗ рмПрммрмВ рмХрм╛рм╣рм┐рмБрмХрм┐?)
Answer: I like Olga the most because she represents true, selfless humanity. While Sergei offered words and conditional help to boost his own ego, Olga provided silent, practical sacrifice. Her genuine tears and hard work for a hopeless drunkard ultimately became the true catalyst that saved Lushkoff’s life.
Question 7: Write a short paragraph suggesting some ways for abolishing the practice of begging in our country.
(рмЖрмо рмжрнЗрм╢рм░рнЗ рмнрм┐рмХрнНрм╖рм╛рммрнГрмдрнНрмдрм┐ рмкрнНрм░рмерм╛рмХрнБ рмЙрмЪрнНрмЫрнЗрмж рмХрм░рм┐рммрм╛ рмкрм╛рмЗрмБ рмХрм┐рмЫрм┐ рмЙрмкрм╛рнЯ рм╕рнВрмЪрм╛рмЗ рмПрмХ рмЫрнЛрмЯ рмкрм░рм┐рмЪрнНрмЫрнЗрмж рм▓рнЗрмЦрмирнНрмдрнБред)
Answer: To abolish begging, we must stop giving free money and instead offer dignified employment opportunities, just like Sergei did. Society should provide accessible skill-training centers, free mental health and addiction rehabilitation (like Lushkoff needed), and proper government shelters to ensure no one is forced onto the streets.
