1 Once, Tuo Weng passed by the dock and was treated as a porter by a noble lady. He was asked to carry a box. He also got 5 kopecks for carrying boxes for your wife. Then someone on the dock recognized Tolstoy. His beard and his own "Tolstoy shirt" are too easy to identify. So many people gathered around to say hello to him. The lady was ashamed of herself and wanted to get back the 5 kopecks that made her feel ashamed, but Tolstoy refused: "This is my labor income. I value this money very much and don't care how much it costs. "

2. On a laughing occasion, someone teased Tolstoy angrily: What can you do besides writing novels? Everyone present at that time felt that the joke was too much and untrue. Tolstoy, who is nearly sixty years old, has no response to the ridicule of his friends. He went home without saying a word. His workshop is next to the study. Among them, tools such as hammers, pliers, hacksaws and files were placed on a big wooden table, and an apron was hung on the wall for work ... In response to the ridicule of friends, he personally made a pair of beautiful and sturdy high-heeled leather boots and solemnly gave them to his eldest son-in-law, Su Huoding. Sukhotin, who was willing to wear such a precious gift from Lao Zhang Yue, put his boots on the bookshelf. At that time, Tolstoy's collected works had been published in volume 12, and he labeled these boots: "13". This move immediately became a story in the cultural circle. Tuo Weng laughed and said, "That's my favorite volume." On a whim, Tuo Weng made a pair of half-height cow boots and gave them to his good friend poet Fett. Fett had a brainwave and immediately paid Tolstoy 6 rubles, and issued a receipt: "The author of war and peace, Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, made a pair of boots with thick soles, short heels and cymbals according to my instructions. He delivered this boot to my home on October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0 this year, and I paid 6 rubles for it. From the second day on, it can be seen that these boots are very well made. Words are empty words and words are evidence. 1885 65438+ 10/0/5. " Fett's autograph and seal are on the back. Craft is a symbol of spirit, and behavior reflects a person's ideological outlook. Modern young people hate manual labor and refuse to learn and master a trade. Whether you like reading or not, people who read well and those who don't, flock to universities, which is exactly what Chekhov said: "Universities cultivate all kinds of talents, including stupidity."

Tolstoy likes riding, hunting, swimming, skating, boating and other sports. Besides sports, he also likes to take part in labor. Lie Bin, a painter, saw Tolstoy in the field under the scorching sun all day. He took the initiative to help the poor build houses, build stoves and mow grass. Until he was seventy years old, he insisted on drawing water, chopping wood and sawing wood with farmers. When Tolstoy jumped off the horizontal bar, the French youth said with confidence, "Count, your movements on the horizontal bar are also real art". Tolstoy didn't say a word, just smiled indifferently. There was a young man who always wanted to become famous in one fell swoop. He went to consult Tolstoy. Tolstoy sincerely said to young people: "Man is like a fraction, the numerator is the size he really has, and the denominator is the size he imagines himself." . The larger the denominator, the smaller the score. If the denominator is infinite, the score is equal to zero.
