English Original
Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II, was a short and stout man. George Bernard Shaw was a famous writer, tall and lean. Both were known for their wit.
At a reception, Churchill said to Shaw with a smile, "Mr. Shaw, when people see you, they must think there is a famine in our country."
"Yes," replied Bernard Shaw, "but they must think you are responsible for it."
