The Cherry Tree
When George was about six years old,he was made the wealthy master of a hatchet of which,like most little boys,he was extremely fond.He went about chopping everything that came his way.
One day,as he wandered about the garden amusing himself by hacking his mother's pea sticks,he found a beautiful,young English cherry tree,of which his father was most proud.He tried the edge of his hatchet on the trunk of the tree and barked it so that it died.
Some time after this,his father discovered what had happened to his favorite tree.He came into the house in great anger,and demanded to know who the mischievous person was who had cut away the bark.Nobody could tell him anything about it.
Just then George,with his little hatchet,came into the room.
"George,'' said his father,"do you know who has killed my beautiful little cherry tree yonder in the garden?I would not have taken five guineas for it!''
This was a hard question to answer,and for a moment George was staggered by it,but quickly recovering himself he cried:
"I cannot tell a lie,father,you know I cannot tell a lie!I did cut it with my little hatchet.''
The anger died out of his father's face,and taking the boy tenderly in his arms,he said:
"My son,that you should not be afraid to tell the truth is more to me than a thousand trees!Yes - though they were blossomed with silver and had leaves of the purest gold!''

What You Are Is As Important As What You Do

by: Patricia Fripp, A Cup of Chicken Soup for the Soul


It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"
The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"
Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00."
The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference."
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.
