Old George bought the black gloves for just $35 ten years ago. They were made of lamb skin, soft and warm and very strong. Until then, he had worn cheaper man-made material. Those gloves never lasted longer than three years. He first decided to buy the expensive gloves, because they would make him feel nice in front of others.

George never let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves, so they looked new. Losing this favourite thing was almost like losing a child to him.

Bad luck! George lost his expensive gloves on New Year's Day.

…

Back home. George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do without a pair of gloves. If he bought cheap ones again, he would have to replace (更换) them very soon. If he bought a new leather pair, it would cost $50 now. He was upset that people no longer returned things they found on the road.

After the holiday, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before boarding the subway, he went into Value Mart again to see if his gloves had been returned to the Lost and Found Office (失物招领处).

"What colour are they?" the woman in the office asked again.

"Black," he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men's leather gloves. "Are they?"

"Yes! Those are mine!" George explained, with great joy in his eyes.

When George Washington was about six years old, he received a present—a hatchet（短柄小斧）. George liked it very much. He carried it around and cut useless things. One day, in the garden, he unluckily cut a beautiful young cherry tree, a favourite of his father's. The tree died. The next morning, his father found the dead tree. He was angry and asked, “Who killed my tree?” But nobody answered him.

      Just then, George came in with his hatchet.

      His father asked, “George, do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry in the garden?”

      George was in fear. He thought for a moment and then said, “I can't tell a lie, Pa. You know I can't tell a lie. I cut it with my hatchet.”

    “Run to my arms, George. I'm so glad,” his father said. “You killed my tree, but you have told the truth, and this is more valuable（宝贵的）than a thousand trees.”
