How much spaceship does a man need?

Leo Tolstoy thought a lot about the peasants. "What can I do for you," he asked them, "to make your lives better? Would you like justice and social equality?"

"We would like a spaceship."

He bought them a spaceship.

"This is a pie tin."

"It is a spaceship."

"It is a pie tin."

He lost his temper. Ignorant peasants! Blind to social and material progress!

"What is the matter?" asked his wife, coming up to the group.

"He bought us a pie tin."

"That's nice," she said. "That's nice of him."
