Washington was the first president of the US. He was very smart even when he was still a young boy.

Once a thief (小偷) stole some money from Uncle Post, Washington's neighbour. The door of the house was not broken, and things in the room were in good order. Washington concluded that the thief must be one of the villagers.

That evening at the villagers' meeting, Washington said, "We don't know who stole the money but God does. God sends his wasp (黄蜂)to tell good from evil (罪恶). Every night the wasp flies among us but few people notice it...” Suddenly Washington cried out, "Look! The wasp has landed on the thief's hat. It is going to sting (叮)!

Soon everybody began to look for the thief. They noticed 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.

Another time, a neighbour stole Washington's horse. Washington went to the neighbour's farm to get his horse back with a policeman. But the neighbour said that it was his horse.

Suddenly Washington had a good idea. He put both of his hands over the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbour, "If this is your horse, then you must tell us in which eye the horse is blind."

The neighbour first told the policeman it was the left eye and then he right eye. But in fact, there was nothing wrong with the horse s eyes. Finally, the policeman said," You have proved that the horse isn't yours. You must return it to the boy.
