The Honest Woodman

Adapted by Esperanza Diaz-Cruz

Once, a poor woodman named Caloy went to

the forest which was in the side of a deep river. He
was working all day long and he was tired.
(Demonstrate how it is to be tired.)

Suddenly his axe slipped from his hand and

fell into the water. (Act it out before the pupils.)

“Oh! I have lost my axe,” he cried. “I have

nothing to use to earn my living! What shall I do?
The river is very deep and I am afraid to dive into it.
Who can help me?”

(Stop and Ask: Who do you think would help Pupils may give varied answers. Some may
the woodman? How would he do it?) already guess it is the fairy.

Faye, a good fairy, heard the poor man’s

cries and appeared before him. “What’s the matter,
poor woodman?” she asked. “Why are you so sad?”
Caloy told her what happened and Faye promised to
help him.

(Stop and Ask: What would the fairy do? Can Pupils may give varied answers. Some may

yours?”)

She dived into the river and brought up a

golden axe. “Is it yours?” she asked.

(Ask the boys in the class to say this line: All boys say “No, that is not mine.”
“No, that is not mine.”)

“No, that is not mine,” answered Caloy.

 Faye dived again and this time brought up a
silver axe.

“Is it yours?” she asked,

not mine.”)

And Caloy again answered “No, that is not

mine”.

(Stop and Ask: What do you think would the Pupils may give varied answers. Some may

So Faye dove a third time and this time

brought up the axe that had slipped from Caloy’s
hand. “That is my axe,” he cried. “Now I can work
again.”

Happy with Caloy’s acts, Faye gave him the

two axes as a reward.
