Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States, was not very handsome, and he knew he was not.
One day, Lincoln was walking on the road
when he was stopped by an ugly man .The man had a gun in his hand. He took aim
(瞄準(zhǔn)) at Lincoln’s
nose. Lincoln was very surprised, but he pretended(假裝) not to be afraid. He asked
the man, “What do you want, sir?”“I’ve promised myself,” said the man, “if I
find a man who is uglier than I, I’ll kill him.” Then Lincoln looked at the
man’s face carefully and then said, “Please take aim at me, sir. If I were
uglier than you are, I would not want to live.” The man looked at Lincoln
again, after a minute, he said, “You are right!” And he went away.
