　　When sailors are allowed ashore(上岸) after a long time at sea, they sometimes get drunk and cause trouble. For this reason, the navy(海军) always has naval police in big ports. When sailors cause trouble, the naval police come and deal with them.

　　One day, the naval police in one big seaport received an urgent (紧急的) telephone call from a bar in the town. The barman said that a big sailor had got drunk and was breaking the furniture in the bar. The petty(弱小的) officer who was in charge of the naval police guard that evening said that he would come immediately.

　　Now, petty officers who had to go and deal with sailors who were violently(凶暴的) drunk usually chose the biggest naval policeman they could find to go with them. But this particular petty officer did not do this. Instead, he chose the smallest and weakest－looking man he could find to go to the bar with him and arrest the sailor who was breaking the furniture.

　　Another petty officer who happened to be there was surprised when he saw the petty officer of the guard choose this small man, so he said to him, “Why don't you take a big man with you? You may have to fight the sailor who is drunk.”

　　“Yes, you are quite right,” answered the petty officer of the guard. “That is exactly why I am taking this small man. If you saw two policemen coming to arrest you, and one of them was much smaller than the other, which one would you attack?”
