The moral of the story is supposed to be something like "A man really only needs six feet of land" or something to that effect, but I can't remember if Tolstoy explicitly said that or if it was just heavily suggested. Anyone?
-RE:It's said at the end of the story.
The phrase that is used is, "His servant dug a grave long enough for Pahóm to be in, and buried him in it. Six feet from his head to his heels was all he needed." The exact phrase used may vary depending on the translator. Herrnhut 10:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
