I liked the short story, "How Much Land Does a Man Need," because it shows how Pahom goes from being a peasant to being fooled into buying more and more land by the Devil due to eagerness and greediness of owning more land for farming, instead of being happy with what he already has. He was willing to put his life on the line, just for the large plot of land. He should have stopped being greedy for wanting more.
