The honest wood cutter completing story

The Honesty wood cutter

Then he sat beside the river and began to cry bitterly. Then a wonderful thing happened. A fairy appeared before him from the river. She asked him why he was crying. The woodcutter told her everything. The fairy took pity on him. She went into the river and came back with a “golden axe”. But the honest woodcutter didn't feel tempted. He said that the axe wasn't his own one. The fairy again dived into the river and brought a silver axe. The woodcutter told her that it too wasn't his own axe. Now the fairy again dived into the river and brought a standard iron axe. This time he told that it was his. The fairy became considerably pleased with the poor woodcutter's honesty and devotion to truth. So She gave the woodcutter all the three axes. He sold the silver and gold axes within the market, got a great amount of cash and have become a rich man. He thus began to lead a peaceful life.
