It was George Washington, but he didn't really say it. A book was written about him a 100 years after his death and one of the stories in the book relates that when he was asked who chopped down the cherry tree he said " I can not tell a lie. I did" This was a made up story that has come down to us as fact.
The quote is," Father, I cannot tell a lie." The tale goes that the first President of the United States of America, George Washington, answered this when asked if he chopped down a cherry tree. Here in the USA, children are told this story from a very early age. I suppose to try and keep them from fibbing. I don't put much stock in it being a true story and kids here fib just like most kids.
He said he cannot tell a lie
George Washington is known as the Father of Our Country. His famous words were "I cannot tell a lie." He is supposed to have said those words to his father after his father asked him if he cut down his cherry tree.
I cannot tell a lie. Because he chopped down a cherry tree and his dad asked him if he did and he said no but then he said "I cannot tell a bad lie"
Once he said it was "Tell Me A Lie," but he also said it was "I Want."
Oh wait, I tell a lie, i cannot. :-)
