George Washington Duck

George Washington Duck got his name from his patriotic mother. She dressed him in red, white, and blue, just like his brother. He was given a cherry tree and a hatchet when he turned ten. “Look at me Mama!” He yelled with a happy grin. Chopping down a cherry tree is more work than he thought. Because this was a young healthy sapling, not a bit of rot. His mama gave him a chain saw, and he was in his glory. Of course, it completely changed the age-old story.
