adapted from Dead Souls
by Nikolai Gogol
For several minutes Plushkin stood mute, while
Chichikov remained so dazed with the appearance of the
host and everything else in the room, that he too, could not
begin a conversation, but stood wondering how best to
find words in which to explain the object of his visit. For a
while he thought of expressing himself to the effect that,
having heard so much of his host's benevolence and other
rare qualities of spirit, he had considered it his duty to
come and pay a tribute of respect; but presently even HE
came to the conclusion that this would be overdoing the
thing, and, after another glance round the room, decided
that the phrase "benevolence and other rare qualities of
spirit" might to advantage give place to "economy and
genius for method."
Accordingly, the speech mentally composed, he said
aloud that, having heard of Plushkin's talents for thrifty
and systematic management, he had considered himself
bound to make the acquaintance of his host, and to
present him with his personal compliments.
Ос.
Personal expression is dangerous.
D.
Causal conversation is common.

Not sure why fairy tales are but poetry can be true just things are more descriptive in it
