S3 - E5: How much land does a man need?

S3 - E5: How much land does a man need?

Author: Simple and Easy Arabic November 4, 2024 Duration: 10:58

It's already time for the last story in this series of short stories. To be fair, this one is not actually all that short, but it definitely is a very inspiring and thought provoking one. It is inspired by Leo Tolstoj's short story 'How much land does a man need'. Probably some of you know it already. It is one of Majd's favorites and therefore we could not leave it out.
