The Six Fools



Story Outlines :- Six fools start on a journey – cross a river – count themselves each – not counting himself – counts five – a passerby agrees to produce the lost man – gives a blow on each head – counts six.


Title : The Six Fools


One day, six fools from a certain village set out for pilgrimage. On their way, they had to cross a river swimming. After crossing the river, one of them counted them, not counting himself. He counted five. They were very upset at losing one of them. To be sure, each one of them counted again in the same way that the first one did and counted five. They informed the matter to a passerby. The passerby was amused at their stupidity. He agreed to produce the lost man. He took a stick and gave a blow on each head until he counted six. The six fools thanked him again and again for producing the lost man ‘miraculously’.

Moral : The stupids are stock of laughter.

There lived a wood cutter in a village. One day he was cutting wood nearby a river. Suddenly his axe fell in to the river. The wood cutter did not know how to swim or drive. So he was sitting there sadly..........

An honest wood cutter

Then a wonderful thing happened. The river goddess appeared before him. She asked him why he was crying. The wood cutter told her everything. The river goddess took pity on him. She went in to the river and came back with a “golden axe”. She asked him if it was his axe. The wood cutter replied in the negative. Then she again went in to the water and returned with a silver one. This time also the wood cutter refused to take it.

Finally she brought the axe of the wood cutter. The wood cutter was delighted to get back his iron axe. The river goddess became pleased with the wood cutter and gives him the two other valuable axes as reward.
