George Washington was a well-known farmer and soldier before he became the first president of the United States. Here is one of the many stories people told about him.


Once a neighbor stole one of Washington's horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbor's farm to get the horse, but the neighbor refused to give the horse up; he claimed that it was his horse.


Washington placed both of his hands over the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbor, "If this is your horse, then you must tell us in which eye he is blind. "


"In the right eye!" the neighbor said.


Washington took his hand from the right eye of the horse and showed the police officer that the horse was not blind in the right eye.


"Oh, I have made a mistake," said the neighbor. "He is blind in the left eye. "


Washington then showed that the horse was not blind in the left eye, either.


"I have made another mistake," said the neighbor.


"Yes, "said the police officer, "and you have also shown us that you are a thief. This horse does not belong to you. You must return it to Mr. Washington."

乔治华盛顿在成为美国第一任总统前曾是一个有名的农夫和士兵。人们谈论过很多关于他的事迹,下面就是其中的一个故事。


曾经一位邻居偷了华盛顿的马。华盛顿叫上警察去邻居的农场要马,但是邻居拒绝归还,并声称那是自己的马。

华盛顿用双手盖住了马的眼睛,对邻居说,“如果这是你的马,那么你一定得告诉我们马的哪只眼是瞎的。”
“右眼”邻居说道。
华盛顿将盖在马右眼的手拿开,示意警察嘛的右眼并不瞎。
“额,我说错了。”邻居道。“左眼是瞎的”
华盛顿接着拿开左手,示意马的左眼也不瞎。
“我犯了一个错误。”邻居说。
“是的”警察道,“而且你还向我们证实了你是一个贼。这匹马不是你的,你必须将马归还给华盛顿先生。”

    it's right.
   All guys should have a clear conscience.so that nobody can doubt us,and we couldn't take any notice of others' comments.Also as one makes one's bed so one must lie on it.
