Aunt Este's Stories For Children
My dear little ones:
I do not suppose there Is a boy or girl in North America
who does not know the story of George Washington and the
Cherry Tree. Everyone has heard George Washington's side of
the story—but who has heard the cherry tree's side of it? So I
will tell you a story of
THE CHERRY TREE THAT NEVER GREW CP
Once upon a time in a beautiful orchard In Virginia grew a
little cherry tree. It had once only been a buby seed dropped to
the ground by baby fingers At least it used to tell the other
little trees around it this story:
"One day," the little Cherry Tree always began, "I was a big
red cherry, and as I was lying n the ground all tempting and
ripe and sweet and Juicy a little boy with golden curls and smil
ing face and straight limbs came along. How old do you say,
was he? Well, I should judge he was about two years old for he
could hardly toddle. He picked me up—and then a smile spread
over his face—and the next think I knew the reddest sort of lips
opened and I was thrust Into a deep red cave. All the juicy part
of me was bitten off and went down a long, long hallway—where
to I never could find out. My seed, the only really live thing
about me, the little boy took out of the red cave and looked at.
Then he sat down on the ground and starteO playing with the
dirt, and before I knew what had happened he had stuck me way
down Into the earth with his chubby little fingers. Just then
Ills father called, and lie went running away, his little lips redder
than they had been and his face smlller than ever; and I was
forgotten."
"And then what happened?" the other trees asked —for they
always loved to hear this story from the little tree.
"Well, I thought I was done for," the little tree would con
tinue, "but good old Mother Earth took care of me; the little
leaves pitied me and made me a patch-work quilt: King Winter
brought a snow blanket and laid it over me; the next Spring the
rains came and soon 1 felt a queer feeling stirring inside me.
I wanted to burst that seed. So I did. Then I pushed, pushed,
pushed, until I stuck my nose from out Mother Earth's lap, and
here I was. You all know the rest. How I have been growing
ever since. I often wonder whether that little fellow I see run
ning around here playing Indian with a hatchet—the little fel
low they call George—ls the one who, without knowing what he
was duing, gave me new life, and made me a tree."
'» trees chatted and swayed, and swayed and chat
ted, in the orchard In Virginia, while the little boy in knlcker
bokers played and ran and grew along with the trees.
Now it happened that the boy's father came every now and
then to see how his orchard grew. And he noticed this little
tree growing at such a queer place—right out of line with the
other trees as If it had just happened, and he saw it was a
straight, beautiful tree, so be loved it best of all the little trees
ol the orchard, and often brought his small son to sit under its
low branches—and there he would tell him stories of men, great
and brave and true. Men who knew how to tell the truth and
how to be brave even when it was hard. And George, the little
boy, and the little tree listened and learned to love the father
and the truth and the stories of honest, brave men. who dared to
do right.
One day, however, the littlo boy came to the orchard, and as
soon as the little tree looked at him, It saw there was something
different about him. Ho seemed to be full of fire, and war, an

boyhood—which la just manhood not grown up—and the little tree
saw he Just wanted to do something desperate.
"I feel so big and strong I want to use my arms and my
hatchet!" said he, "and I don't know what to try them on."
"Suddenly he spied the little tree. My! but the poor thing
quaked!
"Ha Ha," said he, "the very thing. I'll chop this down and
show everyone how strong I am."
So, although the little tree tried hard to plead for its life;
although It tried hard to tell George what nice cherries It would
« give him In a few years, George started in. "Chip'' went tile little
hatchet, and "chip" again. "Chop" sounded thfe strokes, and
"chop" again. And never, never did the little boy stop until the
poor little cherry tree, quivering with fright, lay on the ground:
never to grow into a beautiful tree —never to bear big red
cherries.
And just then the little boy's father, came Into the orchard.
"Who chopped my cherry tree?" said he. And the little tree,
breathing Its last, could scarcely believe the same kind man wjio
had sat under Its low branches, fondling his son, was the one
who now stood there glowering above him.'
"If I can find the fellow who did this," said he, "I'll punish
him severely," and there was fight In his eye, and strength In his
arm.
"I wonder what little George will do?" thought the poor dying
cherry tree. "He has cut me down—but Ido hope he will not lie.
I hope he Is brave after all." And with all its strength it tried
to whisper, "Remember the stories of brave men, little George,
told right on this spot."
Whether little George heard or not I do not know. But I do
know he stood right up, and it seemed to the little cherry tiee
ho was almost as big and strong and brave looking as his father.
He stood right up and faced that angry man and said:
"FATIIEK I CANNOT TELL A LIE. I DID IT WITH MY
LITTLE HATCHET!"
Then after it was over the little cherry tree felt a small
form over its dying one—and heard a wee voice sobbing, "I did
not know 1 was harming you, dear little tree."
As the cherry tree breathed its last, a strong man held in his
arms a little boy who was a soldier; a boy who dared to tell the
truth: a boy who dared to face a power bigger than he was and
stand for right; a boy who was a hero, even although he had
done wrong, as any boy Is liable to do. And the little cherry
tree was happy even if it never could grow up.
And Is this the end of the story of the little tree that never
frcw up? I do not know but I love to think—that after it was
usk and the stars came twinkling into the blue sky, a little boy
crawled out of the house and with a knife cut from the tender
body of the little tree a twig—and with that twig he had some
thing to keep through life. I love to think that perhaps a bit of
that cherry tree lived to see the little boy become a great hero and
face more angry and bitter people than his father. I love to think
that this twig lay In the home of the First President of a Great
Land. Above all, I love to think that somewhere it Is still liv
ing and seeing on every Washington's birthday, cherries—cherries
of silk and cherries of candy and cherries of all descriptions,
growing all over the land. I love to think it knows it is more
famous than If It had grown bushes of bright, red, juicy cherries,
which would have been eaten and forgotten years ago.
Lovingly. -A TINT KSTK.
