Detailed explanation-1: -Sergei offered Lushkoff to chop wood for him and earn money instead of telling lies and begging. Sergei made this offer because he believed that people could be reformed by hard work and not by giving sympathy or alms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ans. Sergei sent Lushkoff to his friend with a letter of recommendation for some copying work. This was a cleaner employment in comparison to wood-chopping. As a parting advice, he told Lushkoff to work hard and not to drink.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lushkoff came by each month and would get half a rouble each time he cut the wood. He was also given other tasks, like cleaning the rugs, arranging everything in the wood shed and also shoveling snow. However, he was paid a minimum of twenty and a maximum of forty copecks for these off jobs.
Detailed explanation-4: -He would ask him to either chop wood, to shovel snow or to arrange the woodshed.
