Honest Woodcutter One day, a poor woodcutter was working in the forest. He accidentally dropped his axe into the river. Oh God! That was my only axe. I have no money for another one! He was very upset. Just then the goddess of the river appeared there. She had 3 axes in her hand. She held out a golden axe to him. I found these in the river. Is this golden one yours? No. That’s not mine. 95
The goddess then pointed at the silver axe. The woodcutter said that is not his too. Finally, the river goddess held out the wooden axe. Is this wooden axe yours? Yes! Yes! That’s mine. Thank you very much! The river goddess was happy that the woodcutter was saying the truth. She gave the poor man all the three axes and disappeared. 96
