Once upon a time, there was a poor woodcutter who earned his living by cutting trees in the forest. One day, while cutting a tree near a river, his axe slipped from his hands and fell into the water. The woodcutter sat down in despair, as he had no money to buy another axe.Suddenly, a kind angel appeared and asked him what happened. The woodcutter told her his sad story. The angel dived into the river and brought out a golden axe.“Is this your axe?” she asked.The woodcutter shook his head, saying, “No, this isn’t mine.”The angel went back and returned with a silver axe. “Is this your axe?” she asked.Again, the woodcutter said, “No, this isn’t mine either.”Finally, the angel brought out the woodcutter’s old iron axe. The woodcutter smiled and said, “Yes, this is my axe!”The angel was so pleased with his honesty that she gave him all three axes as a reward.Moral of the story: Always be honest, and you will be rewarded.
