Child is found of hearing stories by nature. We find maternal grandmothers telling stories to children. I am also one of them I have read many stories. A story is always interesting. After some time we forget some stories. But there are also such stories which mark a great impression on a person. Among such stories ‘ A Poor Honest Wood- Cutter’ is remarkable and impressive.
There was a wood – cutter in a village. He was very poor. He used to cut wood in the forest. In the evening he used to sell the bundle of wood. Cost of wood- bundle was the earning of poor man. He had a small family yet he could not save any money for rainy days. Once the wood – cutter was cutting wood with his river. The river was deep. The wood- cutter did not know how to swim. He had no money to buy a new axe. He tried his best to think a plan to find as axe. He had no way but to weep. He began to weep in sorrow.
On that spot a water-god lived there. He felt pity. He came to wood- cutter and asked him, why was he weeping ? the wood cutter told the whole matter. His axe was in the river. He could not get it. He could not purchase new axe. The water-god dived into the water and came out with a silver axe. He asked him, ‘Is this year axe? The Wood – cutter replied, ‘No sir, it is not my axe. The water god dived again and came out with a golden axe. Showing it he asked the wood- cutter. The poor man again refused saying that it was not his axe. He did not like to take this golden axe. The wood- cutter was still sad. He was waiting for his own axe.
