Once there was a wood-cutter living in a village. He sold the wood in the market and earns money. One day he went to the forest to cut the wood near river. When he was cutting the wood by axe suddenly his axe slipped from his hands and fell into the deep water of the river.
He did not able to swim. He started to pray for God please help him. Suddenly a river angel appears and asks him why he is upset. The wood-cutter tells him about his axe that fell into the deep water of the river.
Angel jumped into the river and brought out a golden axe. Wood-cutter refuses to take it. He said that is not his axe. Angel again jumped into the river and brought out silver axe and again wood-cutter refuse to take it. Angel again jumped into the river and brought out iron axe. The wood-cutter said that is my axe.
Angel was deeply impressed the honesty of the wood-cutter. Angel gave other axes golden and silver to wood-cutter as the reward of his honesty.
Honesty is The Best Policy.
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.
MORAL : Honest dealings are always supreme. Money earned by wrong methods will never remain for ever.
