D. Lesson proper

Let the students summarize the story “A day in the Country”

‘A day in the country'

by Anton Chekhov

It pays homage to an unsung hero, a homeless cobbler whose name is Terenty. In the beginning of the story a
beggar girl named Fyokla, who is 6 years old comes running through a village. The village is preparing for an
approaching storm. She addresses everyone as “uncle”. She is searching for some particular person. She finally
finds Terenty in the kitchen-garden. He is a “tall old man with a thin, pock-marked face, very long legs, and
bare feet, dressed in a woman’s tattered jacket”. He does not look like a hero.

But Fyokla is searching desperately for someone to help in freeing her brother Danilka, whose hand is
stuck in a tree. Terenty does not give importance to the approaching storm and talking reassuringly in fatherly
tones he goes to free Fyokla’s brother.

The story tells us that Terenty “answers all questions, and there is no secret in Nature which baffles
him. He knows everything”. The writer further adds that indeed “all the villagers, generally speaking, know as
much as he does”. But the difference is that Terenty is willing to share his knowledge and time with the two
orphan children. The children love him for this reason.

The two children retire to a deserted barn after spending the day with Terenty. And Terenty goes to the
tavern. Chekhov further tells about Terenty's sincerity and love for the two orphan children. Terenty comes back
later and puts bread under their heads making the sign of the cross while they are asleep. In this way Terenty is
tries to make the lives of Fyokla and Danilka a little better than his own.
