Hibai Agureev: The Man Who Talked Too Much

Hibai Agureev had a problem. He talked too much.
It wasn't that he said anything particularly interesting or intelligent. In fact, most of the time he just rambled on about nothing in particular. But he couldn't help himself. Once he started talking, he just couldn't seem to stop.
His friends and family had tried to tell him that he talked too much, but he never listened. He thought they were just being jealous because they didn't have anything interesting to say.
One day, Hibai was at a party when he started talking to a woman he didn't know. He told her his life story, his hopes and dreams, and everything in between. The woman was polite, but she was also clearly bored.
After a while, the woman excused herself to go to the bathroom. Hibai followed her, thinking she was going to ask him for his number. But when she came out of the bathroom, she just walked away without saying a word.
Hibai was crushed. He had finally realized that people didn't want to listen to him talk.
He went home and cried himself to sleep. The next morning, he woke up with a new determination. He was going to change his ways. He was going to become a man of few words.
Hibai started by practicing in the mirror. He would look at himself and say, "Hi, I'm Hibai. I'm a man of few words."
At first, it was difficult. He wanted to talk about everything he saw and experienced. But he forced himself to be quiet.
Slowly but surely, Hibai started to change. He talked less and less, and when he did talk, people actually listened.
One day, Hibai was at a party when he met a woman named Sarah. He told her his name and shook her hand.
"You're very quiet," Sarah said.
"I'm trying to be a man of few words," Hibai said.
"Well, you're doing a good job," Sarah said. "I like that."
Hibai smiled. He had finally found someone who appreciated his quiet nature.
Hibai and Sarah started dating, and they quickly fell in love. They got married a few years later, and they had two children.
Hibai never forgot his promise to be a man of few words. He still talked a lot, but only when he had something important to say. And people always listened.
The moral of the story is: it's okay to talk a lot, but only if you have something interesting to say. And if you don't, well, then just shut up.
