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 (聪明).

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

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