. La vera storia di George Washington : chiamato il padre del suo paese; oggi erano sconosciuti. Niente biciclette, né francoballi, né tennis, né croquet, né baseball? Cosa potevano fare i figli dei signori quando Washington era un ragazzo? Beh, avevano molto da mangiare e da bere; c'erano cavalli da cavalcare e pistole da sparare e cani da cacciare; Ci erano fishto essere catturati e fuori-dei giochi della porta da giocare, e i ragazzi erano appena pieni di funand appena pronto a giocare quanto sono al giorno.i Washingtons, come ho detto, sono stati considerati bene fuori, anche se hadnot molto soldi da spe

. The true story of George Washington : called the father of his country. to-day were thenunknown. No bicycles, no postage stampalbums, no tennis nor croquet, nor baseball?—what could the sons of gentlemen findto do when Washington was a boy? Well — they had plenty to eat and drink ;there were horses to ride and guns to shootwith and dogs to hunt with; there were fishto be caught and out-of-door games to beplayed, and the boys were just as full of funand just as ready to play as they are to-day.The Washingtons, as I have told you, were considered well off, although they hadnot much money to spend and did not live ina grand house ; so the sons of the smallerplanters, the boy who belonged to what was known as the poor white families, and the little black and white servant-boys — for there were both kinds in Virginia then —lookedupon George Washington as a good deal of a boy, and fol-lowed him as their leader in their out-of-door sports andgames.

When he was eleven years old, in April, 1743, his fatherdied suddenly, and Mary Washington had the managementof the great plantation and the houseful of children. Howwell she succeeded we all know; for, to-day, George Washing-tons mother is almost as famous as her son. One of theolder boys — Georges half-brother Lawrence—had beensent to England to school; but, when his father died, therewas scarcely mone
