Reading Notes: Russian Fairy Tales, Part A

 Story source: Russian Fairy Tales by W. R. S. Ralston (1887).

The Miser

A story about a coin...(google kopek amounts)

Money is owed but not paid - eventually the one who owes, despite having funds, fakes his death.


The man who wants his coin gets very creative with the supposedly dead body.


Eventually when he threatens to have the man's head cut off by robbers the death is shown as a ruse! At this point the rich man who owes money and the man owed split up funds left behind by the robbers.


However the rich man still doesn't pay his original owed coin.
