1, I'm afraid of Tolstoy.
Once, in order to visit Tolstoy, Chekhov couldn't decide what kind of pants to wear for a whole hour before he left. He changed one after another and was not satisfied. With a narrow one, he thought Tolstoy would definitely say, "What a pity, this poor writer." Put on a big one, and he suspected Tolstoy would say, "We're catching up with the Black Sea, this villain ..."

Tolstoy and a coin
Although Tolstoy is famous and well-born, he likes to be with ordinary people, make friends with ordinary people and never put on airs to be a great writer.
Once, on a long trip, he passed a small railway station. He wanted to take a walk on the station and came to the platform. At this moment, a bus was about to start when the whistle sounded. Tolstoy was walking slowly on the platform when suddenly a lady shouted to him from the train window, "Old man! Old man! Go to the waiting room and help me with my handbag. I forgot to mention it. "
It turned out that the lady saw Tolstoy's simple clothes and a lot of dust, so she took him as a porter at the station.
Tolstoy ran into the waiting room to get the bag and handed it to the lady.
The lady said gratefully, "Thank you!" Just hand Tolstoy a coin. "This is for you."
Tolstoy took the coin, looked at it and put it in his pocket.
As it happens, a passenger next to the lady recognized the dusty "porter" and shouted to the lady, "Madam, do you know who you gave the money to? He is lev tolstoy! "
Ah! Jesus Christ. The lady exclaimed, "What am I doing?" She eagerly explained to Tolstoy, "Mr Tolstoy! Mr Tolstoy! For god's sake, please don't care! Please give me back the coin. How can I tip you? How embarrassing! What have I done? "
"Madam, why are you so excited?" Tolstoy said calmly, "You didn't do anything bad! I earned this coin and I have to take it away. "
The whistle sounded again, and the train started slowly, taking the confused lady away.
Tolstoy smiled and watched the train go away and continued his journey.
