"Väärä kuponki" by Leo Tolstoy is a short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around themes of morality, corruption, and the human condition as it follows Fedor Smokovnikov, a principled government employee, and his teenage son Mitja as they navigate a moral dilemma involving a counterfeit coupon. The opening of the story introduces us to Fedor Mihailovitsh Smokovnikov, who is grappling with a letter from the governor that implies his dishonesty. As he returns home in a foul mood, an interaction with his son Mitja reveals the tensions between them, particularly regarding money and honesty. Mitja feels wronged by his father’s stringent morals and his inability to understand his son's struggles. This establishes a conflict that sets the tone for the story, exploring familial relationships amidst the backdrop of social and ethical challenges. A series of developments leads Mitja to contemplate actions that may deviate from his father's ideals, which foreshadows deeper themes of choice and consequence in the story.
