誰更丑
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was not very handsome, and he knew.
One day, Lincoln was walking in the street when he was stopped by an ugly man. The man had apistol in his hand. He aimed at Lincoln's nose. Lincoln was very surprised, but he pretended to be calm. He asked the man, "What do you want, sir?"
"I have promised myself," said the man, "If I find a man who is uglier than I, I'll kill him."
Lincoln looked at the man's face carefully and said eagerly. "Please take aim at me, sir. If I was uglier than you, I would not want to live."
美國(guó)總統(tǒng)亞伯拉罕·林肯長(zhǎng)得不算英俊,這他自己也知道。
一天,林肯正在街上散步,這時(shí)他突然被一個(gè)丑人攔住了。那個(gè)人手中拿著槍,瞄準(zhǔn)林肯的鼻子。林肯非常驚訝,但是他假裝鎮(zhèn)靜自若。他問那個(gè)人:“先生,你想干什么?”
“我答應(yīng)過自己,”那個(gè)人說,“如果我找到一個(gè)比我更丑的人,我就斃了他。”
林肯仔細(xì)端詳那個(gè)人的臉,急切地說,“請(qǐng)瞄準(zhǔn)我吧,如果我比你更丑,我也不想活了。”
