the tree when common sense showed
that he didn't.

Oply n crazy person would cut down

and Washington was not crazy. IL
might have been an attempt TO create
an artificial shortage In the cherry
crop and thus enhance prices, but
then more than one tree would have
been cut down.
Amid terrific cheering, Malefactor ~
Great Wealth concluded by saying en-
uhstically that George did not cut
