The Honest Woodcutter-{Set 1}
One day a poor woodcutter was cutting down a tree beside a river. By chance, his axe fell into the river. The woodcutter began to weep bitterly. It was his only axe. The river god took pity on him. He showed him a golden axe. But the poor man said, “It is not my axe. I won’t take it.” He also refused to take a silver axe from the god. At last, he was given his own iron axe. He accepted it happily. The river god was very pleased with the honest woodcutter. He gave him all three axes.
{Set 2} The Honest Woodcutter Story Writing
Once there lived a woodcutter in a village. He used to go to the forest and cut wood. He was very poor. One day he was cutting a tree by the side of a river. Suddenly the axe slipped from his hand and fell into the river.
He searched for the axe in the river. But the river was deep. He didn’t find the axe. He began to weep bitterly. It was his only axe. Hearing him weeping, the river god emerged from the river.
He asked, “Why are you weeping?” The woodcutter replied, “I have my only axe fell into the river.” The river god consoled him, “Don’t worry, I will help you in finding the axe.”
The river god had a plan. He wanted to test the honesty of the woodcutter. He went into the water and came back with a gold axe.
“Here it is. Take it and go home.”
Seeing the gold axe, the woodcutter continued weeping. “It is not mine. I want my axe back.” The river god went back to the river and bring back a silver axe. “This isn’t my axe too.”
The river god went to the river again and this time he brought back the original axe. The woodcutter was happy to see his axe and said, “Yes, This is my axe. Please give it to me. The river god was happy too. He said, “I am pleased with your honesty. Take all the three axes and go home.” The woodcutter accepted the axes and returned home.
