THE WOODCUTTER AND THE FAIRYOne day a poor woodcutter was cutting a big tree near a wide river. Suddenly his old axe slipped from his hand and fell into the deep water. He sat on the bank feeling sad because he had lost his only axe, when a beautiful fairy appeared and asked him what was the matter.'I have lost my axe' he said. 'It fell into the deep water.' The fairy dipped a slim hand into the dark water , brought out a gold axe and said, 'Is this yours?''No,' said the woodcutter.They fairy then brought out a silver axe and said again in her clear voice. Is this yours?''No' answered the woodcutter again. then she showed him a common, iron axe with an old, wooden handle.'Yes, that's mine,' said the happy woodcutter.'I know,' said the fairy. 'I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth; and now I wil give you the gold axe and silver gold as well, because you are an honest man,'
