The Cherry Tree

By: M.L.Weems
When George Washington was about six years old, he was
made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which, like most little
boys, he was extremely fond. He went about chopping
everything that came his way.
One day, as he wandered about the garden amusing himself
by hacking his mothers pea-sticks, he found a beautiful, young
English cherry tree, of which his father was most proud. He tried
the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so
that it died.
Some time after this, his father discovered what had
happened to his favorite tree. He came into the house in great
anger, and demanded to know who the mischievous person was
who had cut away the bark. Nobody could tell him anything
about it. Just then George, with his little hatchet, came into the
room.
George, said his father, do you know who has killed my
beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden? I would not have
taken five guineas for it!
This was a hard question to answer, and for a moment
George was staggered by it, but quickly recovering himself he
cried: I cannot tell a lie, father, you know I cannot tell a lie! I did
cut it with my little hatchet.
The anger died out of his fathers face, and taking the boy
tenderly in his arms, he said:
My son, that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to
me than a thousand trees! yes, though they were blossomed with
silver and had leaves of the purest gold!
11. What can you learn from the story?

A. The death of a cherry tree. C. The angry man.
B. The naughty boy.
D. The honest boy.
13. He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and

The word it refers to __________.
A. the garden
