The scene: a piece of forest land in the north of Virginia, near a large stream of water.\u003cbr\u003eSurveying equipment was lying about, and several men were resting under the trees. Their dress and appearance showed that they were laying out the wild lands of the country.\u003cbr\u003eThey had just finished their dinner and were letting it settle. \u003cbr\u003eApart from the group walked a young man with a tall and compact frame. He moved with the firm and steady tread of someone used to constant exercise in the open air.\u003cbr\u003eHis face wore a look of confidence not usually found in one so young, especially since he was just over eighteen years of age.\u003cbr\u003eSuddenly there was a shriek, quickly followed by several more. It came from the other side of a small piece of wooded land.\u003cbr\u003eAt the first scream, the youth turned his head in the direction of the sound. When it was repeated, he pushed aside the undergrowth and dashed to the banks of the stream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFind out what George Washington saw there, and what he did.\u003cbr\u003eAges 8 and up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearningIsland.com believes in the value of children practicing reading for 15 minutes every day.
