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7a686964616fe78988e69d83333以在他前面肯定还有一个男人。”

horse, don't cross it, you will be drowned. Yesterday one of my friends was drowned
in this river.”
The little horse is very afraid. Finally he decides to go home and ask his mother.
The old horse asks, “Why do you take the wheat back What's wrong with you My
child.”
The little horse answers sadly, “There is a river in front of me. Aunt Cow said it was
not deep. But the little squirrel said it was deep. What shall I do ”.
The old horse says, “My child, you should try to cross the river by yourself. If you do
not try, how do you know the river is deep or not ”.
The little horse carries the wheat and returns to the riverside. At last, he succeeds in
crossing the river. Now, He knows how deep the river is.
