　　A

　　Not many people know that U.S. President Calvin Coolidge did not always live in the White House. Sometimes he lived in the nearby Willard Hotel.

　　Once, in the middle of a night, the President awoke to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmy spoke up from the darkness, “I wish you wouldn’t take that watch.”

　　“Why?” asked the shocked man.

　　Coolidged answered, “Take it near the window and read what is engraved on the back of it.”

　　The man read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.” He was very surprised!

　　“Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!

　　“Yes, I am” Coolidge said. Then he asked, “Why are you doing this,Son?”

　　The young man explained that he and a friend traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.

　　Coolidge added up those fees. It came to $32.

　　That may not sound like much now, but it was a big sum then. “I’ll give you the $32 as a loan,” the President said, “And I expect you to pay me back.”
