Wood Cutter

Wood Cutter

Once upon a time there was a wood cutter in a village.
He is good a person. He never lied.
One day he went to the forest and started to cut a tree.
When cutting the tree the axe slipped and fell in to a well.
As the axe gone he felt very sad.
He got down from the trunk and started crying.
By then the water goddess appeared.
“why are you crying dear.?” The goddess asked.
He answered, “ my axe fell into the well.”
“don’t worry dear I will get it for you,” said the goddess and disappeared. After some time the goddess got a gold axe. He said, “ it’s not mine.” The goddess told okay, gone back and got silver axe.
The wood cutter said, “ this is also not mine.”
The goddess went back and got his axe this time. As soon as he saw the axe he said, “ yeah! this is mine.”
The goddess appreciated his sincerity.
The goddess said, “ as you didn’t desire of what is not yours and for your sincerity I am giving you the gold and silver axes as gift.”
