经典名人故事：He is the thief

　　Washington was the first president of the U.S. He was very clever even when he was still a 12-year-old-boy.

　　华盛顿是美国第一任总统，他在12岁的时候就非常聪明。

　　Once a thief stole some money from Uncle Post, Washington's 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.

　　有一次，一个小偷从华盛顿的邻居波斯特叔叔那里偷了一些钱。房子的门没有坏，房间里的东西也很整齐。华盛顿断定小偷一定是其中一个村民所为。

　　That evening at the villagers' meeting the said, "We don't know who stole the money but God does. God sends his wasp 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 thief's hat. It is going to sting!"

　　那天晚上在村民会议上说：“我们不知道谁偷了钱，但上帝知道。上帝派黄蜂来分辨善恶。每天晚上黄蜂在我们中间飞来飞去，但很少有人注意到它……”然后，华盛顿突然挥手大叫：“看！黄蜂落在小偷的帽子上了。它会痛的！”

　　The crowd burst into an uproar. Everybody turned to look for the thief. But soon the noise died down. All eyes were fixed on a man who was trying hard to drive the "Wasp" off his hat.

　　人群哗然一片。每个人都转身去找小偷。但是很快噪音就消失了。所有的目光都集中在一个想把“黄蜂”从帽子上赶下来的人身上。

　　"Now we know who the money," Washington said with a smile.

　　“现在我们知道谁有钱了，”华盛顿笑着说。
