Summary of the story a day in country

Answered by admin @ 04/08/2021

'A day in the country' is written by 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.
