(2016·江西上饶高三模拟)When Abraham Lincoln was young，he worked in a store.One day a woman came into the store and bought some things.They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.

The bill was paid，and the woman was entirely satisfied.But the young storekeeper，

not feeling quite sure as to the accuracy of his calculations，added up the things again.To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars. “I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more，”said Abe，disturbed.

It was an unimportant thing，and many clerks would have forgotten it，but Abe was too conscientious for that. “The money must be paid back，”he decided.

At night，he closed the store，and walked to the home of his customer.He explained the matter，paid over the six and a quarter cents，and returned satisfied.

Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty.A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea.The young clerk weighed it out.This was the last sale of the day.

The next morning，when beginning his duties，Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales.It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale of the previous night，and so，of course，given his customers short weight.I am afraid that there are many country merchants who would not have been much worried by this discovery.But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound，shut up the store，and carried it to the defrauded customer.I think my young readers will begin to see that the name so often given，in later times to President Lincoln，of “Honest Old Abe”，was well deserved.A_man_who_begins_by_strict_honesty_in_his_youth_is_not_likely_to_change_as_he_grows_older，and_mercantile_honesty_is_some_guarantee_of_political_honesty.
