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.

HACHI: A Dog's Tale (2009 true story) VERY EMOTIONAL

Edited 2011-01 http://www.ine-pps.nl/?page=movies&it...

 

A college proffessor (Richard Gere) receives a dog as a present and names it "Hachiko."

The dog would accompany his owner to the train station everyday and return each afternoon to greet his owner. Then one day the professor passes away and never returns to the train station.

Amazingly enough, Hachiko returns to the same train station every day for the next years of his life...

NOTES:

1-Based on a true story of Hidesaburo Ueno

and his Akita breed dog "Hachiko."

2-A bronze statue of "Hachiko" stands outside

of the Shibuya train station to this day.

3-Story was first made into

the film "Hachiko monogatari" in 1987.

4-Related titles: Hachi-ko | Hachiko monogatari(1987)

Music: Marco Borsato : "Waarom Nou Jij" (instrumental)
