He was sitting in the park one day. Then a girl came there with a ball.
Approaching Tolstoy, he looked at him and asked, 'Will you come and play with me? she asked.
He also agreed and played with the girl for a while.
As the evening approached, the girl said to Tolstoy, 'I am coming' and left.
Hearing that, Tolstoy said, "Tell your mother that I played with Tolstoy."
And the little girl said, 'Tell your mother too... that I played with Mary'.
He was ashamed of his pride, considering that she thought of him as his equal, world-renowned.
