Answers
Answer:
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.
Moral: Honesty is the best policy.
"WOODCUTTER"
Once upon a time there lived a woodcutter in a village. He was
very poor. He earned
his living by cutting and selling wood. One day as he was cutting down a tree on the bank of a river, his axe accidentally fell into the river. He did not know how to swim. He was too poor to buy a new axe. So he began to weep bitterly.
God Mercury heard him weeping. He appeared before the woodcutter. He asked him why he was weeping. The woodcutter told him the whole story. God Mercury was moved to pity. He dived into to the river. A momen later, he brought out an axe made of gold. The woodcutter said that it was not his axe and refused to take it. God Mercury again dived into the water. This time he brought out an axe made of silver. The woodcutter refused to take that one also.
God Mercury dived into the water yet again. This time he came out with an iron axe. The delighted wood-cutter cried. "Yes sir, this is my axe indeed. Thank you so much." Pleased at his honesty, God Mercury gave him all the three axes.
*MORAL* : Honesty is the best policy.
