What does this quotation reveal about Mr.Abe from "Abalone, Abalone, Abalone" by Toshio Mori?

"Do not say anything. Nothing, mind you. When you have found the reason you must collect and preserve them [the shells], you do not have to say anything more."

I'm not exactly sure. It shows that Mr.Abe is an understanding and wise man and that he likes to preserve the beauty of these shells...?

Thanks

I think he is saying that some beauty is beyond words and that words merely lessen and distract from your understanding and appreciation of that beauty.

It also shows he is using incorrect English grammar as some do when they haven't had enough education to know better.
