Art by Duy Truong from Tammy and the Declaration of Independence. This is from our collector PARCHMENT series of books. Art is displayed very much like it was discovered in an abandoned shed in Ohio!
Betsy Ross disagreed and said, "We are breaking away from England and no one wants to see anything that reminds us of it .Six pointed stars are good for a tyrannical king. Our nation will be ruled by God and whenever I look into the night sky I see five points on every star."
General Washington said, "You make a good argument. I must admit I like your idea , however I can't imagine that cutting a five pointed star can be a simple thing. No, we must not make it difficult for you."
"It is nothing at all," she said. "Any child can make a perfect star and not give it a second thought."
"We have a young lady here with us," said George Washington. "Tammy, is it as simple as that?"
I grabbed a scissors and I seized a piece of paper lying on the table and began snipping." It is nothing at all." I handed him a perfect five pointed star. Betsy handed him one that she had cut.
The officers with Washington held back their grins as best they could. One said, "General Washington, you have been out maneuvered by all this. I would bet that even the mouse agrees."
Alfred said, "No offense taken, captain. You are entirely correct and this humble mouse gives his wholehearted approval." He swept his hat in the Captain's direction with a salutary gesture. Cedric and Zeke agreed and nodded their approval.
General Washington said, "I have often outsmarted the best minds of enemy generals, however I am but a novice in the art of flags. I stand by your wisdom that is apparent to all."
