The Privy Councilor - by Anton Chekhov
There are worse poverties than material or intellectual wanting, especially when what one lacks is true character. Take a visit to the countryside, where a poor family is visited by a socially important relative. Will this be a blessing for the family or a curse?

The Siren - Anton Chekhov
Strange how powerful is the imagination. It has the capacity to drive us to do the craziest things, to give up our reason, for a moment. In this story, it is only the power of imagination over the appetite, where some well placed words throw away all hope of doing anything else but eat.

The Love-Philtre of Ikey Shoenstein - P.G. Wodehoue
A comical rivalry between friends, over....what else than a girl? One - the smooth, but not so intelligent jock; the other - a smart but awkward pharmacist. Sorry for all the chemist vocabulary in this one, the gist of the story is pretty straight forward anyway.

Where Love Is, God Is - by Leo Tolstoy
It is difficult to find Russian stories that are uplifting without too much violence or hardship. The idea is to keep it light hearted. Here is a pleasant story for you about a man whose ill-fated life is turned around by reading the Gospels.
