A milkman became very wealthy through dishonest means. He had to cross a river daily to reach the city where his customers lived. He mixed the water of the river generously with the milk that he sold for a good profit. One day he went around collecting the dues in order to celebrate the wedding of his son. With the large amount thus collected he purchased plenty of rich clothes and glittering gold ornaments. But while crossing the river the boat capsized and all his costly purchases were swallowed by the river. The milk vendor was speechless with grief. At that time he heard a voice that came from the river, “Do not weep. What you have lost is only the illicit gains you earned through cheating your customers.

1. A milkman became very rich
through dishonest means. He had to cross a river daily to reach the city to deliver
milk to his customers. He mixed the water of the river with the milk and sold it
for a good profit. One day he went around collecting the dues in order to
celebrate the wedding of his son. He purchased plenty of rich clothes and
glittering gold ornaments with the money. But while crossing the river the boat
flipped and all his costly purchases were swallowed by the river. The milk vendor
was speechless. At that time he heard a voice that came from the river, “Do not
cry. What you have lost is only the gains that you earned through cheating your
customers.”
2. Once there lived a poor woodcutter. He used to cut trees in the woods. One day he was cutting wood on the bank of a river. His axe fell down into the river. The river was deep. He could not take his axe out. He sat on the bank and began to weep.
Mercury, the god of water appeared. He asked the reason of his weeping. The woodcutter told the whole story. Mercury dived into the water and brought a golden axe. The woodcutter refused to take it. Mercury again dived and brought a silver axe. The woodcutter did not take it either. Then he brought an iron axe. The woodcutter took it gladly. Mercury was much pleased. He rewarded the woodcutter with the other two axes.
