A teacher said to her class: "Who was the first man?""George Washington," a little boy shouted promptly."How do you make out that George Washington was the first man?"asked the teacher, smiling indulgently."Because, " said the little boy, "he was first in war, first in peace,and first in the hearts of his countrymen."But at this point a larger boy held up his hand."Well," said the teacher to him, "who do you think was the first man?""I don't know what his name was," said the larger boy, "but I know it wasn't George Washington, ma'am,because the history book says George Washington married a widow,so, of course, there must have been a man ahead of him." 有个老师问班上的学生:“谁是第一个男人?” “乔治·华盛顿,”一个小男孩当即叫道。“你怎么知道乔治·华盛顿是第一个男人呢?”老师问道,宽容地微笑着。小男孩说:“因为他是战时第一,和时第一,国人心中第一。” 这时一个大点儿的男孩举起手来。“那么,”老师对他说,“你认为谁是第一个男人呢?” “我不知道他的名字,”大点儿的男孩说,“但我知道不是乔治·华盛顿,老师。因为历史书上说,乔治·华盛顿取了一个寡妇,所以在他前面肯定还有一个男人。”
