About this audiobook
A man says his father left him no money and no title, only a good temper. His father drove a hearse and led funeral processions, and his round, sunny face seemed to chase away despair. The son spends his days with the newspaper and in the churchyard. In the paper he sees society's vanities, and among the graves he thinks about human foolishness.
Hans Christian Andersen's gentle, funny reflection on good humor as a kind of wisdom. Mike Polischuk reads it in eleven minutes.
For listeners who like thoughtful short stories more than fairy tales.
