Chapter 1 The Barber And The Woodcutter story small summary of class 4
Answers
Answer:
woodcutter
Explanation:
Once a woodcutter lived in a village with his wife and children. He was poor, no doubt, but
honest and truthful. Each day, he would go to the forest with his axe to cut trees for wood. One
day while he was felling a tree at the bank of the river, his axe slipped out of his hand and fell
into the water below. The poor woodcutter began to weep in extreme frustration. God Mercury
heard his cries. He appeared before him and asked him why he was weeping. The woodcutter
told him the whole story. God said, "Don't worry, get back your axe". The very next moment he
woks off his clothes and dived into the river. After a while, He came out of the water with a
golden axe. The woodcutter said, "This axe is made of gold. It is not mine". Then the God dived
into the river again and came out of the water with an axe made of silver. The woodcutter said,
"This isn't mine. Mine is an ordinary iron axe".
God dived into the water the third time. After a few minutes, he came out with an iron axe. The
woodcutter jumped up with joy on seeing the axe and cried, "This is mine! This is mine! Thank
you very much! God was pleased with the honesty of the woodcutter. He gave all the three
axes to him as a reward for his truthfulness."
