What if someone offered you all the longed-for possessions you could grab in a day? What would you choose?
Leo Tolstoy examines this concept in his short story, "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" An uncontented landowner is offered as much choice property as he can stake in a day. The man is ecstatic, but the result isn't quite what he expected.
Intersting ending. Several sites feature it online.
