"A Lost Opportunity" is a fable about forgiveness and working out conflicts peacefully. A feud starts out between two neighboring families over a small matter. Anger can spiral out of control from a small start if people don't cool down and forgive small hurts and disagreements. A fire symbolized the hot, consuming anger that eventually devoured the two families emotionally and destroyed their possessions.

Tolstoy has written a story that starts with a preface from the New Testament (Matthew 18:21-25). It included many mentions of God from the grandfather who is promoting peace between the families. The fable has an important message about finding peaceful solutions to conflicts.
