Not Just Oranges - Isai Tobolsky


Summary:

“Not Just Oranges” is a story written by Isai Tobolsky. The story presents different emotions of human beings such as love, innocence, arrogance, and repentance.

In the story, a woman lives alone with her little daughter. She loves her daughter very much. She works as a charwoman in a hospital and her income is very small. But she feeds and nourishes her daughter very well.

Once, the little girl asks her mother to buy a blue ball. When her mother gets her a ball, she plays with it very happily. But one day the ball bounces into the window of their neighbours, the Malachovs. It breaks an expensive vase on the window sill. The old lady Mrs. Malachov becomes very angry.  The little girl and her mother go to Malachovs’ house and promise to pay for the broken vase. But the Malachovs ridicule them about their poverty. Hurt by this, the girl and the mother return their home leaving their ball at Malachovs’ house. The girl cries for a long time and sleeps. 

After some time, the old lady Malachova comes to their house and returns the ball. She also informs that they need not pay for the vase. Then the charwoman presents her two oranges. Moved by their innocence, the old lady leaves the oranges for the girl. She gave them not just oranges but her love and repentance.
