He went about choppingeverything that came his way.One day, as he wandered about thegarden 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!Source: September 3, 2010 11.What can you learn from the story?A.We have to be honest.B.We should care and love to each other.C.We shall not blame other people if we dont have a proof.D.We shall solve any problems calmly and wisely.12.What does the third paragraph tell us about?A.The death of a cherry tree.B.The naughty boy.C.The angry man.D.The honest boy.
