A TRIVIAL INCIDENT by ANTON CHEKHOV
A Trivial Incident- An Earlybird Release
Our narrator and his friend enter the woods on a large estate to hunt woodcock but are soon told that the owner does not allow hunting. The narrator's friend once knew the lady owner so they approach the house hoping to leverage that old friendship. Chekhov shows his mastery of the short story through characterization, which takes an ordinary event and incorporates mixed emotions to make a moving account of what would normally be "a trivial incident".
