As a young boy, he used his bowie knife and chopped down his father’s favorite cherry tree.
小时候，他曾用博伊刀砍倒了他父亲最喜欢的樱桃树。
His father returned form a hard day of riding the range and demanded to know who had cut down his prized tree.

“Father,” said young George, “I cannot tell a lie. I chopped it down.”
“父亲，”小乔治说，“我不能撒谎。是我把它砍倒的。”
“That settles it,” said his father, “we’re moving to Virginia. With an attitude like that, you’ll never make it in Texas politics.”
“就这样定了，”他的父亲说，“我们要搬到弗吉尼亚州去。你用这样的态度在得州从政是决不会成功的。”
