ἀπόκρυφα :: Founding Faðer's Stories :: Simón Bolívar

Colombia
Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios Blanco (July 24, 1783)

When Simón's father asked who planted this beautiful new tree in the garden,

Simón replied, "I did."

However, his neighbors gathered around, chopped it up, & tore it down.

NOTE :: While all these apocryphal stories are obviously not true perhaps they speak to the character of the various founding fathers & their famiglia.
