This story tells us that it's good to be honest. The woodcutter is rewarded for telling the

truth when his axe is lost, and he gets it back from a fairy who gives him more as a
bonus. So, being truthful is the right way to go.

Once, there was a poor woodcutter

in a village. He worked hard to chop wood

and was known for being honest and

good-hearted. One day, while he was
chopping wood by the river, he

accidentally dropped his iron axe into the

water. He felt very sad and didn't know

what to do, so he prayed for help.

By chance, a fairy passed by and

saw the woodcutter's distress . She asked

him what was wrong, and he explained

how he had lost his iron axe in the river and couldn't afford a new one. The fairy

felt bad for him and promised to help. She jumped into the river and brought out

a golden axe, offering it to the woodcutter. However, he said, "This isn't mine,"

and refused it.

The fairy tried again, this time bringing a silver axe from the river, but the

woodcutter refused it too, saying, "My axe is made of iron." The fairy went into

the river one more time and brought out his iron axe. When he saw it, he couldn't

contain his joy and said, "Yes, this is mine.
