Who is uglier
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 a pistol 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."
谁更丑
美国总统亚伯拉罕·林肯长得不算英俊,他自己也知道。
一天,林肯正在街上散步,突然被一个长相丑陋的人给拦住。那个人手中拿着枪,瞄准林肯的鼻子。林肯非常惊讶,但是他假装镇定自若。他问那个人:“先生,你想干什么?”
“我答应过自己,”那个人说,“如果我找到一个比我更丑的人,我就毙了他。”
林肯仔细端详着他的脸,急切地说:“请瞄准我吧,如果我比你更丑,我也不想活了。”
