About the Story & Author
"Little Girls Wiser Than Men" is a moral short story penned by the great Russian author and philosopher Leo Tolstoy. Set on the festive day of Easter, the story contrasts the innocence, love, and quick-to-forgive nature of children with the bitterness, ego, and prolonged quarrels of adults.
Two little village girls, Malasha and Akoulya, get into a minor squabble after muddy water is splashed onto Akoulya's new dress. Their mothers step in, leading to a massive brawl involving the whole village. However, while the adults are busy shouting and fighting, the two girls quickly reconcile and play happily together, proving that children possess far greater wisdom and pure hearts than grown-ups.
