At one of the Russian art exhibitions appeared a portrait of the writer
Uspensky, written by Kramsky. Gleb Ivanovich was drawn to the exhibition. He wandered through the halls modestly, as he was suddenly stopped by a fat gentleman with a massive gold chain decorated with diamonds. The man grabbed the writer’s hand and waved in praise:
– Gleb Ivanovich, I just bought your portrait.
What did you suddenly think of? Asked by Uspensky.
“Because I’m a big fan of your works,” replies the fat man.
Having learned from a friend that he had talked to the messenger, the famous vodka farmer Smirnov, Uspensky rushed to look for him.
“I wanted to ask,” he turned to the farmer, “where can I buy yours?”
The portrait?
What did you suddenly think of? He asks astonished and surprised.
The factory.
I am also a big fan of your works.
