Gorky's story 1 Gorky got lost while traveling. In the evening, he went to a small village on the border of China. It was snowing all over the sky, and he was too cold to stand. He knocked on the farmer's door and asked for accommodation. An old lady asked loudly in the room, "Who are you?" Gorky said, "Alexei Macsimovici is very strange. Peter Skoff! " "There are too many people!" The old lady slammed the newly opened door and simply refused. 2 Heine 184 1 year, Heine married Eugénie, a salesgirl in a Paris fur shop, which was an unfortunate combination. Eugénie is stupid and ignorant, and has a strong vanity. Heine has been trying to get Eugénie to overcome his shortcomings, but without success. When the poet died, he left her all his property on the condition that she should marry another man. Heine explained: "At least one person will feel sorry for my death." 3 1920, Kalinin, a famous educator of the former Soviet Union, gave a speech at a meeting. At that time, some farmers did not understand the importance of the workers-peasants alliance and asked Kalinin such a question: "Which is more precious to the Soviet regime, workers or farmers?" In this regard, Kalinin raised his voice and asked, "Which is more precious to a person, the left leg or the right leg?" The farmers cheered after hearing this, and the applause lasted for a long time.
