He had a big home which five family members live in. he kept farming and the number of cattle kept increasing. Despite all this he had a thought that his land was not big enough. He wanted wider and more fertile land and had a desire to farm widely and to keep more livestock. All day he kept thinking about only one thing. How can I have more land.

-         When the clealer stops at Pahoms to get some feed for his horse he told Pahoms he was from the land of Bashkirs and had brought 1300 acres of land for 1000 rouble. Pahom says, “ I have to go there.” He enquired on how to get there. pg22 Actually I have never seen this much fertile to wind land. “I would like to have some land for myself.”

-         Pahom learns that the land would be sold by day. He was delighted. Pahom lay on his bed but could not sleep. He kept thinking about the land “ If I walk the whole day what a large track I will mark off.” Pahom lay awake the whole night and dozed off only before dawn.

-         He took the spade from the elder and said “I will get the largest and best land above all the people! I must loose no time. He takes off his outer coat and shoes and went again. He stopped walking to eat lunch. To save time, to walk more and to get more land, he stood up and ate some bread and drank some water. After finishing his lunch he went on again. It had become terribly hot. He felt sleepy, still he went on thinking, an hour to suffer, a lifetime to live.

A desire to get this hollow made him not to turn.Even when he could scarcely see the people on the hillock, he still moved pg24. “As I go further, there are more and more fertile lands.” This is too early. Pahom stepped faster. He had to get more land. He proceeded over the plain. He kept walking without thinking.
