Once
there lived a poor woodcutter in a village. But he was very honest. He earned
his livelihood by selling wood in the market. One day while he was cutting wood
in the jungle near a river. Suddenly his axe slipped out of his hand and fell
into the river. The river was very deep. The woodcutter did not know how to
swim or 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
sad. He told her everything. The fairy felt 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 again went into the river and
returned with a silver one. This time 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 became pleased with the
woodcutter at his honesty and gave him the two other valuable axes as reward.
Honesty is thus always rewarded.
