A problem is a great title for this story because that's what it is, a problem; a problem to understand. I believe the story is about Sasha who forges an IOU note or something like that and one uncle things he should be charged and go to jail, while the other thinks he should be let off with a warning, but if he does it again he should go to jail. In the end Sasha's isn't sent to jail. I'm not sure if this is correct so I didn't want to add vocabulary just in case I was wrong, but I added the vocabulary to the bottom so you'd know I did look at it.
