     After the First World War (戰爭),  a small group of soldiers left the army and returned to their hometown in
France. Most of them lived well, but one of them was poor. His name was Clinton. Once a year they had dinner
in Barton's house. Barton was very rich.
     One evening Barton showed his friends a large gold coin at the supper table. The coin was passed around
and praised(贊揚) by everyone. At the same time they were talking and laughing. They soon forgot the coin.
     After supper, Barton asked for the coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost. Oneman said everyone
must be searched(拽查). One by one they turned out their pockets. Only Clinton refused(拒絕). "I didn't steal(偷)
the coin," he said, "and I will not be searched. "
     After that, people turned their heads away from Clinton when they met him. He grew poorer and poorer. Soon
his wife died.
     A few years later, Clinton had his house repaired. The lost coin was found under the floor. Barton felt sorry
and went to Clinton to apologize
     "You know the coin was not in your pocket," he said to Clinton, "but why did you refuse to be searched?"
     "Because I was a thief," answered Clinton," My pockets were full of food at that time. I had taken some food
from the table to carry home to my wife and hungry children. "
