It's okay to be a little shit and destroy other people's property as long as you're honest? That's not a very good moral. =/

The idea was to teach the idea of telling the truth and always being honest. By telling a lie about young George.

An axe in the hand is worth all of your father's cherries.

Is this a parodic rephrasing of some sort of proverb?

I feel like the important part of the story is never discussed -- why he chopped down the tree in the first place.

As far as I know it's not even in Weems biography where the story first appeared. He was just a bored six year old with idle hands and a hatchet.
