Who was the first Man?

　　"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."

　　有個(gè)老師問班上的學(xué)生：

　　“誰是第一個(gè)男人?”

　　“喬治·華盛頓，”一個(gè)小男孩當(dāng)即叫道。

　　“你怎么知道喬治·華盛頓是第一個(gè)男人呢?”老師問道，寬容地微笑著。

　　小男孩說：“因?yàn)樗菓?zhàn)時(shí)第一，和時(shí)第一，國人心中第一。”

　　這時(shí)一個(gè)大點(diǎn)兒的男孩舉起手來。

　　“那么，”老師對他說，“你認(rèn)為誰是第一個(gè)男人呢?”

　　“我不知道他的名字，”大點(diǎn)兒的男孩說，“但我知道不是喬治·華盛頓，老師。因?yàn)闅v史書上說，喬治·華盛頓取了一個(gè)寡婦，所以在他前面肯定還有一個(gè)男人。”
