Washington was the first president of the U.S. He was very clever even when he was still a 12-year-old-boy.
once a thief stole some money from Uncle Post, Washingtons neighbor. The door of the house was not broken, and things in the room were in good order. Washington concluded that the thief must have been committed by one of the villagers.
That evening at the villagers meeting the said, We dont know who stole the money but God does. God sends his wasp1 to tell good from evil. Every night the wasp flies among us but few people notice it Then, all of a sudden Washington waved his hand and cried out, Look! The wasp has landed on the thiefs hat. It is going to sting2!
The crowd burst into an uproar3. Everybody turned to look for the thief. But soon the noise died down. All eyes were fixed4 on a man who was trying hard to drive the Wasp off his hat.
Now we know who stole the money, Washington said with a smile.
华盛顿是美国的第一任总统，他在12岁时就十分聪明。
有一次，一个小偷从他的邻居大叔皮斯特那里偷了一点钱，房子是好好的，屋子里的东西非常整齐。华盛顿得出结论窃案一定是村民中的某一个人干的。
晚上在村民大会上，他说：虽然大家不了解是哪个偷了钱，但神了解。神派他的黄蜂分辨善恶，天天晚上黄蜂虽然在大家之间飞，但极少人会知道。华盛顿忽然挥了挥手喊道：看黄蜂停在贼的帽子上了，贼要被刺到了。
人群忽然变得哗然，每一个人都转过身找那个贼，但不久喧哗声日渐平息下来。所有些双眼都盯着试图赶走帽子黄蜂的人。
目前，大家了解了哪个偷了钱。华盛顿微笑着说。
