[color=#000][font=宋体][size=5] When Abraham Lincoln was young he worked in a store．Asa clerk he proved honest and efficient．One day a woman cameinto the store and purchased sundry articles．They added up totwo dollars and six cents，or the young clerk thought they did．Thebill was paid， and the woman was entirely satisfied．But theyoung store-keeper，not feeling quite sure as to the accuracy ofhis calculation，added up the items once more．To his dismay he found the sum total should have been but two dollars．“I'vemade her pay six cents too much，”said Abraham，disturbed．Itwas a trifle，and many clerks would have dismissed it as such．But Abraham was too conscientious to forget about the over-charge．[/size][/font][/color][color=#000][font=宋体][size=5][/size][/font][/color]

[size=5] [color=#000][font=宋体]亚伯拉罕·林肯年轻的时候曾经在一家商店工作。作为店员他既诚实效率又高。一天，一位妇女来到店里买一些杂货。这些杂货总计两美元六美分，或者说年轻的店员认为应该这么多。帐付完了，这位妇女非常满意。但是年轻的店员对他的计算的准确性不很肯定，又逐条重新加了一遍。令他惊愕的是他发现总数本应该只有两美元。“我让她多付了六美分，”亚伯拉罕说，感到非常不安。这是一件小事，许多店员根本不考虑这样的事情。但亚伯拉罕却太认真了，他不能忘记多收的钱。[/font][/color][/size] [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=1051394&ptid=610580]3#[/url] [i]kobe[/i] [/b]
[size=5] [color=#000][font=宋体]“这钱一定要还回去，”他决定。如果那位妇女住在附近事情就简单多了，但是，正象年轻人知道的那样，她住在两三英里以外。然而，这并没有改变他的主意。天黑了，他关了门，锁上店铺，向他的顾客居住的地方走去。到了那儿以后，他做了解释，退了那六美分，满意地返了回去。[/font][/color][/size]
