提示:
When quite young, Webster did not always obey the school rules. One day the teacher caught him breaking a rule and asked him to come forward to be punished.In that school, striking an open hand with a ruler was the punishment. Webster’ s hands happened to be very dirty. On the way to the teacher’ s desk he hid his hands behind his back. “Give me your hand, ” demanded the teacher. Out went the right. “Webster, if you can find another hand in this schoolroom as dirty as that, I’ll let you go.” Immediately from behind Webster’ s back came the left hand.“Here’s another one, sir.” he replied.“That will do,” said the teacher, laughing, “You may go.”
