LUCK by Mark Twain - full unabridged audiobook short story - Fab Audio Books.

 

"Luck" is an 1886 short story by Mark Twain which was first published in 1891 in Harper's Magazine. It was subsequently reprinted in 1892 in the anthology Merry Tales; the first British publication was in 1900, in the collection The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg.

 

The story concerns a decorated English military hero, Lord Arthur Scoresby, a total idiot who triumphs in life through good luck. At the time of the Crimean War Scoresby is a captain. Despite his complete incompetence, everyone misinterprets his performance, taking his blunders for military genius, and his reputation is enhanced with every false step he makes. At the climax of the story, Scoresby mistakes his right hand for his left and leads a charge in the wrong direction, surprising a Russian force which panics and causes a retreat of the Russian army, thus securing an Allied victory.

 

Another interpretation of the story is that the Reverend is simply jealous of the successes Scoresby has achieved. The Reverend, in the past, was an instructor at a military academy, where he taught a young Scoresby. According to the Reverend, Scoresby was a poor student, and "blundered" his way through promotions. When the war began, the Reverend joined the conflict, but with a lower rank of his ex-student. Throughout the story one can see that the Reverend is bitter, and his apparent distaste for the lord seems at odds with his role as a clergyman. The "absolute fool" in the story is not Scoresby, who ascended the ranks of the military through action, but rather the Reverend, who cannot accomplish anything in his lifetime.

SHORT STORY OF THE DAY : OLD AGE HOME

*Old Age Home*

- a must-read short story ...

There was an old man. He was wealthy and living with son and daughter-in-law.

One day he fell ill and had  to be hospitalised. After a few days he was taken home. 

His son engaged a nurse and a servant to look after him.

Initially his son and daughter-in-law used to come to his room. Slowly and gradually, they stopped coming to him. 

The old man was feeling very sad but he didn't say anything to anyone.

One day he just came out of his room and saw his son and daughter-in-law talking to each other.

The daughter-in-law said, "I think we should keep father in an old age home. There people will look after him. Here our son might be affected." The son nodded.

The old man, after hearing the conversation, felt very bad. He went back to his room.

In the evening, the son came to his room and said, "I want to say something to you."

Father said., "I too want to say something to you."

Son: OK. Go ahead.

Father: You know I am not keeping good health. I want to live the rest of my life with people like me who are not in good health and there is none to look after them."

The son was very happy to hear this. But concealing his happiness he said, "What are you saying dad? What difficulties do you have living here?"

Father: No, my son. I don't have any difficulty living here. But I am at pain to tell you that you please make your own arrangement to live somewhere else. I have decided to convert my this bungalow into an Old Age Home where people like me can live with me."

Father continued: By the way, you also wanted to tell me something. What's that?"

There was a grim silence in the room.
