Ivan Alekseevich Bunin. Youth and old age (№ 420471)

Man his own thirty years lived like a man - he ate, drank, fought in the war, danced at weddings, loved young women and girls. And for fifteen donkey years he worked, amassed wealth. And fifteen dogs took care of their wealth, kept talking and getting angry, did not sleep at night. And then he became as ugly, as old as that monkey. And everyone shook their heads and laughed at his old age.
