Hello, first of all, I think online-lit.com is a great website! I have just finished reading "Animal Farm" by Orwell and "Boots" by Chekhov. I enjoyed reading the former but have trouble understanding the latter.. Exactly what is going on in that short story? I can't figure it out... I remember my high school teacher telling me the answer once and it was quite humorous - but that was a few years ago and I cant remember anymore..

Can anyone help me? I'd really appreciate it :)
