William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the U.S, was born in a small town. When he was a boy, he was very quiet and shy. Because he was so quiet, every one thought that he wasn't bright (聰明).

The people in the town often put a nickel (五分幣) and a dime (一角銀幣) before him and ask him which to choose. He always chose the nickel and they laughed.

One day a woman felt sorry for him. She asked, "Why do you never take a dime and always choose a nickel instead? Do you know a nickel is worth (值…錢) much less than a dime?"

"Certainly I know it," William answered slowly. "But if I choose the dime, they will not ask me to choose them any more.
