Step-by-step explanation:
In the story 'How Much Land Does a Man Need?' the outcome is that Pahom loses his life for just a little more land. The story, written by Leo Tolstoy, follows the character Pahom as he becomes obsessed with acquiring more land and is ultimately consumed by his greed. In his relentless pursuit of land, Pahom makes a deal with the devil, who grants him the opportunity to claim as much land as he can walk around in a single day. However, in his haste to acquire more land, Pahom overexerts himself and dies.
The moral of the story 'How Much Land Does a Man Need' is that excessive desire can make a person lose all they have. The example is the peasant protagonist is never satisfied with how much land he has and although his ambition is at first good, it becomes too much.
At the end of his run, as the sun is setting, he sees the Chief of the Bashkirs laughing. Pahom reaches his starting point but falls down and dies. His servant buries him, noting that in the end, the only land Pahom needed was six feet, from head to foot—for his grave.
