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."
