阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案
It has been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself．There is one particular story that he always told with great delight．
In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases．During one of these many trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him．The stranger looked at the tall clumsy lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to Lincoln．Lincoln was a bit puzzled．He had never seen the man before．He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his．Lincoln asked him how this could be．The stranger pulled out a pen knife and began to explain．Many years before, he had been given the pocket knife．He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier (丑) than himself．
Lincoln's eyes always sparkled when he reached this part of the story．The story always brought smiles to the faces of those who heard it．The tale itself was funny．By even more delightful was the fact that a man as Lincoln could still laugh at himself．
