Players: Father, 3 sons
Father Indian lines up his three sons.
Father: "One of you pushed outhouse over cliff, two nights ago. Which of you did it?"
Sons: Not me" "not me!" "Not me!!!"
Father: "Come on, I promise not to punish you. Who did it?"
Sons: "Not me!" "Not me!" "Not me!"
Father: "Let me tell you story of great American hero, George Washington. When he was a boy, he chopped down a cherry tree. His father came to him and asked, 'George, did you chop down that cherry tree?' 'I cannot tell a lie, father, I chopped down the cherry tree,' said little George. 'You should not have done that, but since you told the truth, I will not punish you.' And George Washington grew up to be President of the United States!" <PAUSE> "Now I ask you. Who pushed outhouse over the cliff?"
Son 1: "Not me!"
Son 2:"Not me!"
Son 3: "I cannot tell a lie, father, I pushed the outhouse over the cliff."
Father: Fine, you will clean the stables with your toothbrush and eat with the hogs for the rest of the week.
Son3: "But father, why do you punish me? When George Washington told the truth to his father, he was not punished. for he told the truth. Am I not following in the footsteps of our great leader?”
Father: "Yes my son, but George Washington's father wasn't IN the cherry tree when George Washington chopped it down!"
