Washington was the first president of the United States. When he was young, he cut down his father's two cherry trees. His father came back and was very angry. He thought to himself, "If I find out who cut down my tree, I will give him a good beating." His father asked everywhere. When he asked his son, Washington began to cry. "I cut down your tree!" Washington confessed. The father picked up his son and said, "I am a clever boy." I would rather lose a hundred trees than listen to your lies. "

Washington planted an apple tree in his backyard, 14 years old. His father saw it and said to him, "If you want to eat apples, you should plant them in sunny places and water and fertilize them constantly." When he turned to leave, his father added, "If you help others get what they want, you can get what you want."
