When George Washington was young, his father gave him a hatchet（短柄斧）.He tried to cut down a cherry tree with it. His father noticed the cuts on the tree, and asked his son how they got there. "I cannot tell a lie," George said, "I did it with my hatchet." Today, George Washington represents（代表） honesty（诚实）, and cherry pies have become a favorite food associated with his birthday.
