Lenin's coat
It was winter, the north wind was blowing and it was snowing heavily, but Lenin was still wearing an old coat. It has been worn for many years and has been mended in several places. For fear that Lenin would freeze and damage his health, all the comrades suggested that he buy a new one.
"No,no." Lenin said with a smile. "Everyone else is as cold. Some people don't even have old coats. "
Later, after the victory of the revolution, some comrades joked that "Comrade Lenin's coat can be put in the revolutionary museum", but Lenin continued to wear that old coat.
One day, a comrade looked at Lenin's old coat and said, "Comrade Lenin, please buy a new coat at once. Otherwise, you may freeze. "
Lenin shook hands with that comrade and said, "You think that since the revolution has won, we should dress better, don't you?" Admittedly, we have won, but we still have to build. Our money must be used for construction. Even if the clothes we wear are a little old, it doesn't matter. "

Lenin's coat
In winter, the north wind whistles and heavy snow falls. Lenin is still wearing an old coat. This coat has been worn for many years and has been mended in several places. Comrades were afraid that Lenin would freeze and advised him to change to a new one.
Lenin smiled and said, "No, no". Everyone is equally cold, and some people don't even have old coats. "
Later, the revolution won. Some comrades joked: "Comrade Lenin's old coat can be put into the Revolutionary Museum." But Lenin is still wearing that old coat.
One day, a comrade looked at Lenin's old coat and said to Lenin, "Comrade Lenin, please put on a new coat at once, or you will freeze."
Lenin clasped this comrade's hand and said, "Do you think we should dress better because of the victory of the revolution? Yes, we did win, but we still need to build. Money should be used for construction, and it doesn't matter if you wear old clothes. "
