The Honest Wood Cutter

money to buy another axe. Just then a fairy appeared in the river holding out a golden axe to him. "I
found this axe in the river. Is this yours?"
"That's not mine", replied the woodcutter. The fairy then brought out a silver axe. The
woodcutter disowned this one too. Finally, the fairy held out a wooden axe.
Smiling with happiness, the woodcutter said, "That's mine. Thank you very much."
