The Secret History of the World

Saturday, April 5, 2008

Tolstoy and the peasants, again.

One year later Tolstoy tried again.

"Would you like justice and social equality?"

"Yes."

He was delighted.

"By this we mean we want to moon the Tsar."

He dressed a dog in a velvet suit and stood it on a chair. "The Tsar."

They mooned the dog and harmony reigned on the Tolstoy estate thereafter. The dog got in the pie tin and flew away.
