One day, a woodcutter was cutting wood in the forest.after he did some works, he decided to rest by the riverbank. suddenly, the axe slipped. the woodcutter tried to save it, but he could not. the axe fell in to the water with the splash. he got the axe from father and he loved it. suddenly he heard a voice from nowhere. then th river god marcury showed up. marcury smiled at him and told him that he could get it for him. then he brought a golden axe and asked him if its his. the woodcutter said its not his. the marcury came back with a siiver axe and asked him same question. the woodcutter said its not his. then for the third time, marcury came back with his axe. marcury was impressed by his honesty. so he gave him all the axes.
at the end of story, the woodcutter's friend tried same thing as him. but he said its his when mercury asked him if its his with a golden axe. the marcury got really upset and he did not give him his own axe.
i like this story because it gives us lots of lessons. my mother used to read it as a bed time story. this is my childhood. these lessons gave me ideas of being honest and its still in my soul.
