Honesty Pays in the Long Run
A woodcutter was chopping down trees on the bank of a river. His hands were so much wet with his sweat that he lost his grip over the axe. It slipped away from his hands and fell down into the river. The poor man couldn't even swim. He thought that his axe was lost forever. He was very sad at his misfortune and started sobbing and weeping. Suddenly there was a flash of light. The God of the Forests appeared before him. The woodcutter explained what had happened. He consoled him. "Don't you worry. I'll get back your axe for you", said the God of Forests, Having said these words, he dived into the river. After a few moments, he came out with an axe. It was made of gold. Is this yours? he asked. The woodcutter only said No. A few seconds later he came out of the river with another axe. It was made of silver. No, no, sir, this is not mine, said the woodcutter. He dived again and came out with the third axe. The woodcutter cried loudly looking at the axe Yes, yes, it's mine-the woodcutter's axe with an iron blade. The God of Forests was impressed with the woodcutter's honesty. "Keep all these axes as a present from me. " The God uttered these world and disappeared. In the end, woodcutter has all three axes because of this honest act. The woodcutter felt glad that he found his axe and a reward too. He finished his work and went home. He then told his wife and children the whole story what happened. If he would have lied to the God of the forest then he would have taken all the axes from him. but because of his honesty, he got all the axes. otherwise, he would have only one of the axes or have nothing. that is why it is said that honesty pays in the long run.
