The Washington family also has a cherry tree. Does this sentence have any special significance? Is this a joke?

My buddy heard it when he was listening to Lao Luo's quotations. The meaning of this sentence is obvious. The story he told before about throwing shoes is also someone else's. Attachment: the story of Washington and the cherry tree (but this story itself has nothing to do with that sentence)

George Washington is an American. He led the American War of Independence and was one of the founders of the United States of America. 1789 was elected as the first president of the United States. He is honest and noble and deeply loved by the American people. To commemorate his achievements, the American capital was named after him.

Washington was born in a big manor family. There are many orchards at home. The orchard is full of fruit trees, but there are also some miscellaneous trees. These miscellaneous trees are barren and grow very tall, which affects the growth of other fruit trees.

One day, you personally gave Washington an axe and asked him to cut down the miscellaneous trees that affected the growth of fruit trees. Moreover, he repeatedly told his son to pay attention to safety, not to cut his own feet, and not to cut the fruit trees that are bearing fruit.

In the orchard, Washington waved an axe and kept cutting down miscellaneous trees. Suddenly, he accidentally cut down a cherry tree. Afraid of his father's anger, he piled all the cut trees together and covered the cherry trees with miscellaneous trees.

In the evening, my father came to the orchard and saw the cherries that fell to the ground when the cherry tree fell. He guessed that Washington had accidentally cut down the fruit trees. Although my father knew about it, he pretended not to know, looked at the trees piled up in Washington and said, "You are really capable. You not only cut down so many trees in one afternoon, but also piled up the chopped miscellaneous trees. "

Hearing his father's praise, Washington's face suddenly turned red. He was ashamed to say to his father, "Dad, I'm sorry, I accidentally cut down a cherry tree." I'll pile it up so that you won't find that I cut down the cherry tree. I lied to you. Please blame me! "

My father smiled and said happily,' You are an honest boy, and my father is very satisfied with your honesty. Although you should be criticized for cutting down the cherry tree, I will forgive you for not lying. You know, I'd rather lose a thousand cherry trees than listen to your lies. "

Washington asked inexplicably, "Is honesty really precious enough to compare with a thousand cherry trees?"

Father said patiently, "Honesty is a person's most important virtue. Only honest people can gain a foothold in society and gain the trust of others. I am relieved to see your honesty. I will give you the manor in the future, and you will certainly help me manage it. "
