Anecdotes of the Rebbe Rashab and Chassidic Life

The Rebbe Rashab was once locked out his "cabinet", - the office in yeshiva. The yungerman who worked there was inside, and the Rebbe Rashab knocked on the door so that he should open the door for him. The yungerman called out "who is there". The Rebbe didn't want to say "it's the Rebbe" or something like that, so he said merely "ich darf dir hobben", presumably expecting him to identify him by his voice. But the yungerman didn't recognize the voice, and replied  " איך בין שוין א געהאטע "

The Rebbe Rashab was once watching two bochurim dancing together on simchas Torah. After watching for a few moments, the Rebbe Rashab said (about one of them) -  ער טאנצט מיט קבלת עול And (about the other) און ער טאנצט מיט פריקת עול . (Reb Mendel said who each was).
