1
It was a cold winter evening, and heavy snow was falling across the Russian countryside.
2
The roads were disappearing, the fields were turning white, and the wind was becoming stronger.
3
In a small village, a rich landowner named Vasily Andreech was preparing to leave his house.
4
Vasily owned land, shops, animals, and several other businesses.
5
He was always thinking about money, deals, and ways to become even richer.
6
That evening, he wanted to travel to another village to buy a small forest.
7
He believed he could buy it for less than it was really worth.
8
If he arrived before another buyer, he could make a very good profit.
9
His wife looked outside at the dark sky and became worried.
10
The weather is getting worse, Vasili.
11
You should wait until morning.
12
Vasili laughed and put on his heavy coat.
13
It is only snow.
14
I know these roads, and I will not lose a good business deal because of a little weather.
15
His wife did not look convinced.
16
She asked him at least to take one of the workers with him.
17
Vasily did not really want company, but finally he agreed.
18
The worker chosen to go with him was a man named Nikita.
19
Nikita was poor, quiet, hard -working, and kind.
20
He had made mistakes in his life, especially with drinking.
21
But at that time, he was trying very hard to live better.
22
He did not own much, and he earned very little money.
23
Still, most people in the village liked him.
24
Nikita understood horses, roads, weather, and hard work.
25
He looked at the sky, then at the deep snow.
26
The storm may become bad, sir.
27
Vasili waved his hand and told him to prepare the horse.
28
Nikita did as he was told.
29
Soon, the two men climbed onto a small sledge.
30
Their horse, Mukorti, began moving along the snowy road.
31
At first, the journey was not too difficult.
32
They could still see the road, fences, and dark shapes of houses behind them.
33
Mikita sat quietly, watching the road and the horse.
34
Vasily, however, was in a good mood.
35
He talked about the forest, the price, and the money he hoped to make.
36
The owner does not understand what the land is really worth.
37
If I am clever, I can buy it cheap.
38
Nikita listened, but did not say much.
39
Money was always important to Vasily, but Nikita saw life differently.
40
He wanted enough food, enough warmth, and some peace in his home.
41
As they traveled farther, the wind grew much stronger.
42
Snow began hitting their faces, and the road became harder to see.
43
Nikita leaned forward, trying to find the marks left by other sledges.
44
Soon, those marks disappeared.
45
We may be leaving the road, sir.
46
Vasily looked around, but could see almost nothing.
47
Keep going.
48
We will find it again.
49
The horse moved forward, slowly and carefully.
50
Every few minutes, its legs went deep into soft snow.
51
Mikita watched the animal and knew the horse was becoming tired.
52
We should not push him too hard.
53
Vasily did not like hearing this.
54
We are not far from the village.
55
But in truth, he did not know where they were.
56
The white fields around them all looked the same.
57
There were no trees, no houses, and no clear road.
58
After some time, they saw a dark shape ahead.
59
It was a row of houses.
60
They had reached a village, but not the village Vasily wanted.
61
A local man came outside and told them they had taken the wrong road.
62
He invited them inside, where the room was warm and bright.
63
Mikita was happy to enter and warm his frozen hands.
64
The family gave them tea, food, and a place near the fire.
65
An old man advised them to stay until morning.
66
The storm is getting worse.
67
People get lost in weather like this.
68
Nikita thought the advice was wise.
69
Vasily, however, kept thinking about the forest.
70
Another buyer might arrive first and he could lose the deal.
71
He stood up, thanked the family, and said they had to continue.
72
Mikita looked at the warm fire, then at the dark window.
73
He did not want to go, but Vasily was his master.
74
They returned to the sledge, and the storm immediately surrounded them.
75
The village disappeared behind them after only a few minutes.
76
This time, Nikita tried to guide the horse very carefully.
77
He watched for trees, fences, and any sign of the road, but the snow was too thick.
78
Once again, they became lost.
79
The horse stopped several times, unsure where to go.
80
Mikita got down and walked in front of the sledge.
81
Snow reached high around his legs and every step became difficult.
82
He searched for hard ground but found only deep snow.
83
Suddenly, Mikita stepped into a deep hole and almost disappeared.
84
He struggled, pulled himself out, and returned to the sledge.
85
We cannot continue like this.
86
We may drive into a hole or break the horse's leg.
87
Vasily was becoming frustrated.
88
So what do you want to do?
89
Mekita looked around, carefully.
90
We should stop and wait for daylight night.
91
Vasily stared at him.
92
Stay here all night?
93
Makita nodded.
94
It is safer than moving when we cannot see the road.
95
For a few moments, Vasily said nothing.
96
Then, because he had no better idea, he agreed.
97
They turned the sledge so that it gave them some protection from the wind.
98
Makita covered the horse and tied it securely.
99
He spoke softly to McCordy, touching the animal's neck.
100
Then he climbed into the sledge and tried to protect himself from the cold.
101
Vasily wrapped his expensive coat tightly around his body.
102
At first, he told himself they would be fine.
103
He thought about the forest, the price, and the profit.
104
He imagined owning more land, earning more money and becoming more important.
105
But the storm continued and the darkness seemed endless.
106
Snow collected around the sledge and the temperature dropped lower.
107
Vasily began feeling the cold through his boots and clothes.
108
Nikita, who had poorer clothing, was much colder.
109
His whole body shook, but he tried not to complain.
110
He curled himself into a small position, trying to keep warm.
111
Nikita began thinking that he might die there.
112
Strangely, the thought did not make him very angry.
113
He thought about his wife, his son, his mistakes, and his life.
114
He knew he had not lived perfectly.
115
He had drunk too much in the past, wasted money, and caused problems.
116
But he had also tried, many times, to do better.
117
Mikita closed his eyes and accepted whatever might happen.
118
Vasiri was very different.
119
The idea of dying filled him with terror.
120
He had too much money, too much business, and too many plans.
121
I cannot die here, he thought.
122
This is foolish.
123
He began imagining his shops, his house, his money, all continuing without him.
124
The thought made him even more afraid.
125
Then, Vassili had an idea.
126
He could take the horse, leave Nikita, and try to reach the village alone.
127
For a moment, he knew this was dangerous and unfair, but fear quickly became stronger than guilt.
128
Vassili climbed out of the sledge, untied the horse, and got onto its back.
129
Nikita opened his eyes and understood what was happening.
130
He did not shout or try to stop him.
131
Go with God, sir.
132
Vasily rode away into the snow.
133
Almost immediately, the sledge disappeared behind him.
134
Vasily pushed the horse forward, hoping to find a road or a house.
135
But the darkness was complete, and the wind made every direction looked the same.
136
The horse struggled through deep snow and began losing strength.
137
Vasily tried turning left, then right, then straight ahead.
138
Nothing looked familiar.
139
After some time, Vasily realized he was completely lost.
140
He shouted, but the wind swallowed his voice.
141
He imagined freezing alone, far from everyone.
142
He pushed the horse again, even though it was exhausted.
143
Then the horse stopped.
144
Vasily looked around and saw a dark shape near him.
145
It was the sledge.
146
Without knowing it, he had traveled in a large circle.
147
He had returned to the exact place he had tried to leave.
148
Vasily sat on the horse, unable to speak.
149
For the first time, he understood how powerless he really was.
150
His money could not stop the storm.
151
His business skills could not show him the road.
152
His expensive coat could not protect him forever from the cold.
153
He climbed down and walked back toward the sledge.
154
Nikita was still there, almost covered with snow.
155
Vasily called his name, but Nikita barely moved.
156
Nikita, are you alive?
157
Nikita opened his eyes slowly.
158
I am freezing, sir.
159
I think I may not last until morning.
160
Vasili looked at him, and something unexpected happened.
161
For once, he stopped thinking about money.
162
He stopped thinking about the forest, the deal, and his property story.
163
He saw only another human being lying in the snow and dying.
164
Suddenly, Makeda did not seem like a servant.
165
He seemed like someone whose life was as real and important as his own.
166
Vasily climbed into the sledge, moved close to Makeda, and opened his coat.
167
He lay down over him, using his own body to protect Mekita from the cold.
168
Mekita tried weakly to move away.
169
Stay still, Vasili said.
170
You will be warmer.
171
Vasili covered him as completely as he could.
172
At first, he still thought about surviving.
173
But slowly, another feeling entered his heart.
174
He felt strangely happy because he was helping Nikita.
175
It was a feeling he had never known in business.
176
It was not the happiness of winning, buying, or owning.
177
It was the happiness of giving himself to another person.
178
Vasily suddenly understood that Nikita's life and his own life were somehow connected.
179
He had spent years saying, my money, my land, my business.
180
But now, those words seemed unimportant.
181
He held Makeda closer, protecting him from the wind.
182
Do not be afraid, Makeda.
183
We will stay like this.
184
Makeda heard him, but could not answer clearly.
185
Snow continued falling, covering the horse.
186
the sledge, and both men.
187
Vasily's hands and feet became colder and colder, but he no longer felt the same panic.
188
He remembered his wife, his house, his workers, and his business.
189
They seemed far away now.
190
The only thing that felt important was the man beneath him.
191
Vasily felt as if he had finally understood something he should have known all his life.
192
A person was not rich because he owned many things.
193
A person was rich when he could care for someone else.
194
His eyes slowly closed.
195
The storm continued around them, and sometime during the night, Vasily stopped breathing.
196
Morning came, pale and silent.
197
The storm had finally ended, and the sky was becoming clear.
198
People from the village began looking for the missing men.
199
After some time, they found the horse standing near the snow -covered sledge.
200
They hurried closer and began removing the snow.
201
First, they found Vasily.
202
His body was frozen, and he was dead.
203
Then, underneath him, they found Nikita.
204
Nikita was still alive.
205
The villagers lifted him carefully and carried him to a warm house.
206
For a long time, he could hardly speak.
207
His body had been badly frozen, and he would lose some of his toes.
208
But he survived.
209
Later, people explained what had happened.
210
Vasily had given Nikita the warmth of his own body.
211
The rich master, who had spent his life thinking about himself, had saved his poor servant.
212
Mekita lived for many more years.
213
He returned to work, lived simply, and accepted life as it came.
214
He never became rich.
215
But perhaps he understood something about life that Vasily had only discovered at the very end.
216
Money could buy land, houses, horses, and comfort.
217
But it could not buy another day.
218
It could not control the weather, and it could not give life real meaning without love for another human being.
219
In the cold snow, during the darkest night of his life,
220
Vasily finally stopped living only for himself.
221
And in giving his life to save another man, he discovered something greater than everything he had ever owned.

Об этом уроке
Вы практикуете английский с "Learn English with Podcast | Short Stories in Easy English | Listening Practice | Shadowing" с помощью техники Shadowing — метода, разработанного для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков.
Слушайте каждое предложение, обращайте внимание на ударения и связывание звуков, затем повторяйте вслух уверенно. 15–30 минут ежедневной практики дадут заметные результаты.
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
