Wf Washington gained a reputation fer being a very serious and. solomn person who never laughed.

Though he was a groat men who headed an army ashington had an uncontrollable -'rath. TThon his - rath or rage was aroused he could s car fluently. Many times when angered the tears would roll down his face thus showing Washington was a man of deep emotions. In Washington’s time it wan tho custom to eat most of the time.
