Honesty is the best policy

There lived a wood cutter in a village.One day he was cutting wood near a river.Suddenly,his axe fell into the river.The river was very deep.The wood cutter did not know how to swim or dive.So, he sat there sadly.Then a wonderful thing happended.A beautiful fairy appreared before the wood cutter.She asked him why he was crying sadly there.The wood cutter told her the whole incident.Then he took pity on him and expressed her hope to help him.She assured him that he was sureto get his axe back.Saying this,the fairy went under the water of the river.After sometime she came back with a gold axe.She showed him it.But the wood cutter said that that one was not this.So she again went under water and brought to him a silver axe.But this time also the wood cutter refused to take it.Rather he said that his axe was of iron not of gold or silver.The fairy again went undet water and brought an iron axe.The wood cutter expressed his gratitude getting his lost axe back.He was about to leave the spot.Just at that time the fairy  gave him the rest two axes as gift of his honesty.She said, “These two axes are gift for you from me.I am really pleased at your honesty.”
