Short stories play an important role in literature, being sometimes more expressive than any novel of a more considerable length. Many people prefer them to novels: they are usually not so complex as novels are, there are only a few characters in them, they are easier to follow, and so on. They are popular all over the world. In this paper I would like to deal with short stories written by such great Canadian authors …showed first 75 words of 3540 total…

…showed last 75 words of 3540 total…quite mysterious and unexplainable, although I am sure that it is not incomprehensible. Both the short stories I have tried to analyse in this paper are in some way unique. I do hope that I have managed to point out the most interesting thoughts and ideas that the authors intended to express. I am sure that there do exist many interpretations of them, but how can anybody be sure that his is the correct one?
