    The story is about an honest woodcutter who drops his axe into a deep pond. A friendly water spirit appears and offers him axes made of silver and gold to replace his, but the woodcutter declines since those are not his axe. When the spirit returns with his plain wooden axe, the woodcutter is happy to have it back. Impressed with his honesty, the spirit allows him to keep the silver and gold axes as well. Later, a rich merchant tries the same thing by dropping his axe in the pond, but lies about the silver axe being his. The spirit sees through the deception and the merchant's axe remains at the bottom of the pond.

    "Woe is me!" a poor woodcutter cried when he dropped his ax into a deep pond. A friendly water spirit appeared before him with a silver ax and asked, "Is this yours?" "No," the woodcutter said. The spirit returned with a golden ax. "Is this yours?" she asked. "No," said the woodcutter. Then the spirit appeared with his plain wooden ax. "That one is mine!" said the woodcutter happily. "You've been so honest," said the spirit, "take the gold and silver ax too!" On the way home the woodcutter met a rich merchant. When the merchant heard the woodcutter's tale, he ran to the pond and dropped HIS wooden ax in. "Woe is me!" he cried. The spirit appeared with a silver ax. "That one is mine!" the merchant said quickly. "You know it is not," said the spirit, and disappeared. The rich man's wooden ax stayed on the bottom of the deep pond.

    THE HONEST WOODCUTTEROnce upon a time there lived a poor woodcutter and his wife. They had three children. The family lived in a little house near the forest. One Saturday the woodcutter got up early. He said: ''I will go to the forest at once. Many people will go to the market today. They will want to buy firewood to cook their food'' The woodcutter's wife said, ''Take some food with you. Then you will not be hungry. Be careful on your way.'' ''I will,'' said the woodcutter. The woodcutter walked as fast as he could to the forest. He began cutting wood as soon as he got there. But the head of his ax was loose. It fell into a lake nearby. The woodcutter jumped into the lake. He dived into the water. But he could not find his ax. He dived again and again. Soon he felt tired and cold. So he sat on the bank of the lake. The woodcutter was very sad. ''Oh! Oh! I shall have no wood to sell today,'' he said. ''Where shall i get the money to buy our food?'' Just then a lovely fairy came. She said, ''My good man, why are you crying?'' ''My ax fell into the water,'' said the woodcutter. ''I cannot cut wood to sell today. My children will have no food tonight.'' The fairy jumped into the lake. She came out with a golden ax. ''Is this your ax?'' she asked. ''Oh, no,'' said the woodcutter. ''My ax is not made of gold.'' The fairy jumped into the lake again. Soon she came out with a silver ax. ''Is this your ax?'' asked the fairy. ''Oh, no. That's not mine. My ax is only made of iron.'' The fairy jumped again into the water. Then she came back with an iron ax. ''Is this the one?'' she asked. The woodcutter jumped up for joy. He said, ''Yes, it is. That is my iron ax. Thank you, kind fairy, now, i will be able to cut wood.'' Then the fairy said, ''You are an honest man. You may have the gold and the silver axes too. You may sell them. The gold ax costs much. You will have plenty of money.''
