Washington was the first president(总统) of the U.S. He was very clever when he was still a 12-year-old-boy. One day a man took some money from Uncle Post. The door of the house was good, and things in the room were good too. Washington though that the man must live near them.

When all the people were in a room, the child said, "We don't know who took the money but God does. God asks his wasp(黄蜂) to tell good from bad. Every night the wasp flies among us but few people know it…" Then, suddenly（突然） Washington cried out, "Look! The wasp is on the bad one’s hat."

All the people in the room began to talk and watch. Everybody turned to look for the bad one. But soon the room became quiet. All eyes were on a man, he was trying hard to drive the "Wasp" off his hat. "Now we know who took the money," Washington said with a smile.
