The honest woodcutter
There lived a woodcutter in a village. One day he was cutting wood near a river. Suddenly, the axe fell into the river. The river was very deep. The woodcutter did not know how to swim and dive. So he was sitting there sadly. Then a wonderful thing happened. A beautiful fairy appeared before the Woodcutter. The fairy asked him why he was crying. He told her everything. The fairy took pity on him. She went into the river and came back with a golden axe. She asked the woodcutter if it was his axe. The woodcutter replied in the negative. She then again went into the water and returned with a silver one. This time also the woodcutter refused to take it. Finally she brought the axe of the woodcutter from the water. The Woodcutter was delighted to get back his iron axe. The fairy become pleased with the woodcutter at his honesty and gave him to valuable axes as reward. Honesty is thus always rewarded.
