The two old men.

The two old men, written by Leo Tolstoy, is about two old men named Efim and Elisha.  They decide to go to Jerusalem, so when they had been walking for a while, they came to a village full of starving people so Elisha stayed behind to help.  Efim went ahead, all the way to Jerusalem, but when Elisha was done in the village he went back home instead of following Efim.  In Jerusalem, Efim saw Elisha there, but when he returned home, all Elisha said was that it was God`s work.  I liked this story because of its christian theme for example Elisha`s apperance in Jerusalem, Both men were Orthodox Christians, and Elisha was very helpful to the people in the village.
