            <description><![CDATA[A TRUE STORY TOLD BY THE SEXTON I swear, I am sick of telling stories! Why, what would you expect? It really is tiresome; one goes on telling stories and there is no getting out of it! Oh, very well, I will tell you a story, then; only remember, it is for the last time. Well, we were talking about a man’s being able…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[There is a story about this story: we were told it by Stepan Ivanovich Kurochka, who came over from Gadyach. You must know that my memory is incredibly poor: you may tell me a thing or not tell it, it is all the same. It is just pouring water into a sieve. Being aware of this weakness, I purposely begged him to write the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I There was a bustle and an uproar in a quarter of Kiev: Gorobets, Captain of the Cossacks, was celebrating his son’s wedding. A great many people had come as guests to the wedding. In the old days they liked good food, better still liked drinking, and best of all they liked merrymaking. Among others the Dnieper Cossack Mikitka came on his sorrel horse…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The last day before Christmas had passed. A clear winter night had come; the stars peeped out; the moon rose majestically in the sky to light good people and all the world so that all might enjoy singing kolyadki and praising the Lord. It was freezing harder than in the morning; but it was so still that the crunch of the snow under the…]]></description>

It was just the time when the young men and girls, tired with the work and cares of the day, were in the habit of assembling for the dance. In the mild evening light, cheerful songs blended with mild melodies. A mysterious twilight obscured the blue sky and made everything seem indistinct and distant. It was…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[(RELATED BY THE SACRISTAN OF THE DIKANKA CHURCH) Thoma Grigorovitch had a very strange sort of eccentricity: to the day of his death he never liked to tell the same thing twice. There were times when, if you asked him to relate a thing afresh, behold, he would interpolate new matter, or alter it so that it was impossible to recognize it. Once on…]]></description>
