BE HONEST

            THE CHERRY TREE

When George Washington was 6 yrs old, he was gifted a hatched(a small axe).

He was very fond of it.He used to go to his garden and chop the branches of trees, and small plants.

In the garden was a beautiful young cherry tree which his father was very proud of.Once, while wandering around in the garden, George tried the edge of his axe on the trunk of the tree. The tree died ,as it was badly hurt.

Sometime after this, his father discovered that his favourite tree had died. He came into the house in great anger and demanded to know who had done the mischief. Nobody could tell him anything about it.

Just  then George, with his little axe, came into the room.

"George" said his father,"do you know who has killed my beautiful cherry tree?"

This was a hard question to answer. For a moment George kept quiet but then cried aloud, "I cannot tell a lie, father ! It was I who cut it with my axe."

The anger died out of his father's face. He took his son tenderly in his arms and said, "My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more important to me than a thousand trees ! I am proud of ur honesty.
