The woodcutter and his axe

Once upon a time there was a poor woodcutter. He was very poor but he

was alwayshonest. One hot day, he took his axe and went inside the nearby
forest in search of wood. After searching for a long time, he found one good
tree near a river inside the forest.

“ Hemm.. this tree is good. I can get lots of firewood”

 So, the woodcutter started to work.
„Swish, swoosh, swish swoosh..” 
„Plop..”
 
Oh no! As the woodcutter was cutting the woods, his axe slipped from his
hands and fellinside the river. The river was very deep. So he couldn't get
into the water to take his axeout. He started crying.“ Oh..oh..what am I
going to do?”
 
“ I have lost my precious axe. Oh dear, oh dear..”
 Suddenly, a beautiful angel appeared from inside the river water.
“ Why are crying my dear woodcutter?”
 She asked.
“ Oh, I have lost my axe…now I won‟t be able to cut woods anymore.”

 The woodcutter told her how his axe fell inside the water. The angel went
inside
the water and after sometime came out with a golden axe in her hands. The 
woodcutter refused to accept that golden axe. The angel again went inside
the water. This time she came out with a silver axe and gave it to the
woodcutter. Again the woodcutter refused saying that his was not a silver
axe. The angel dived into the water. This time she came out with the
woodcutter's iron axe. The woodcutter happily accepted his axe and
thanked the angel. The angel was pleased with his honesty. The angel
rewarded the gold and the silver axes to that woodcutter.

MORAL: Honesy always gets rewarded.
