Uncle asked Xiaoyang to cut wood. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyang cut down his uncle's favorite peach tree. Uncle was angry but didn't scold him. I want to know why.

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. " Perhaps uncle is also based on this reason: "I am a clever boy, I would rather lose a hundred trees than listen to your lies."
