    You had to have left after 25 seconds because the background music was an intro and only lasted 30 seconds. Sorry you missed this one… as it was a lovely story!

    This reminds me of an event that occurred around the 60's in America. A town was tormented by a bully for many years. Some people who mustered the courage to take the bully to the authorities and testify in court wound up threatened by him or injured. One day the town killed the bully in broad daylight in front of many witnesses and no one in the town stepped forth to tell what happened. It became a mystery as to what happened to the bully. Listening to Tolstoy's story, I feel very sad because the tormented townspeople took matters into their hands and they prevented God to do justice on their tormentor. It is understandable they had reached a breaking point. However the story says, "The seeds of still greater wickedness have been planted in you..." I wonder what became of the poor townspeople. 😕

    Five ads in a 22 minute story is waaay too many ads. The story itself (as all Tolstoys shorts a are) is wonderful and packs a lot into those few minutes. I listen to short stories as I am unwinding for sleep so the ads really ruined it for me. There are other channels that have no ads so I will stick to those going forward.
