How Much Land Does a Man Need?: And Other Stories Book

I am am sad because I am only rating this book 3 stars because to me it was kind of boring. One thing that I liked was the different stories that was told. Every story was different. That was really the only thing that I like about this book. Sometimes I kind of got loss on what is happening, so I had to reread those parts. I think it should been a little bit more interesting and also better to read. I really had no choice of reading it because I had to read this for English class.

The book is 519 words yet its meaning can span a 1000 pg novel. The plot is about a man who is told to walk on a vast expense of land, the amount he walks will be given to him. The condition was that he returns to the point of departure. Out of greed he walks and covers a vast land mass. Getting to the point of depature, he suddenly falls and dies. The elders dug a six foot grave and buries him there, "exactly the amount of land a man needs". Five star for 519 words!!!
