Story:

George Washington was the first president of the United States. He was a smart and naughty boy when he was a child.

One day, his father gave him a small axe. The small ax head is brand new, small and sharp. Little George is so happy! He thought that his father's big ax could chop down big trees, but could my small ax chop down small trees? I'm going to give it a try. He saw a cherry tree on the edge of the garden. The breeze swayed it, as if waving to him: "Come on, little George, try your little ax on me!" Little George happily said He ran over and raised his ax to chop down the peach tree. One blow, two blows... The cherry tree fell to the ground. He then used a small ax to cut off the branches and leaves of the small tree, clamped the small tree stick between his legs, held the small ax in one hand, and held the small tree stick in the other hand, and played a horse riding and fighting game in the garden.

After a while, my father came back and was very angry when he saw his beloved cherry tree falling to the ground. He asked little George: "Did you chop down my cherry tree?"

Little George then realized that he had gotten into trouble, and thought to himself: He will definitely get beaten by his father today! But he never liked to lie, so he said to his father: "Dad! I chopped down your cherry tree. I want to test the speed of the small axe."

After hearing what little George said, father not only did not He beat him, picked him up and said happily: "My good son, dad would rather lose a thousand cherry trees than you tell a lie. Dad forgives the honest child. However, he will never be casual again." The tree was cut down. "

Little George looked at his father and nodded sensibly.
