Long long ago there lived a woodcutter he was a kind-hearted and honest person he would only cut woods from dried branches and sell them for firewood, and even though he gets very little money he was happy with it. one day when he was cutting the dried branches of a tree near a river his hand slipped and his iron axe fell into the river, he jumped into the river and searched for his axe but he could find it. he sat on the river bank and started crying since he lost the only axe he had and he doesn't have any money to buy a new one.

The spirit of the forest was watching all this, she felt pity for the woodcutter and thought of helping him. she appeared in front of him and asked why he is crying. the woodcutter said that his axe fell into the river now he can't cut any woods without the axe and he doesn't have any money to buy a new one.
The forest spirit promised to help him, she jumped into the river and came back with a silver axe and asked him whether it is his axe? the woodcutter replied no, the forest spirit again jumped into the river and came back with a golden axe and asked the woodcutter is it his axe ? the woodcutter replied no and said his axe was an old iron axe again the forest spirit jumped into the river and came with an old iron axe on seeing the old iron axe the woodcutter jumped in joy and thanked the forest spirit for finding his axe.
The forest spirit was very much pleased by the woodcutter's honesty and she said your honesty made me happy so keep the golden axe and silver axe as my gift and she disappeared the woodcutter went to the city to sell the golden and silver axe the merchant enquired the woodcutter how he got both the axes and the woodcutter told the merchant the whole story the merchant bought the axe and came with a plan
The next day the merchant disguised himself as a woodcutter and went to the river bank he pretended to cut the tree and put the axe into the river on purpose and started to cry the forest spirit knowing his plan appeared in front of him and asked why he was crying? the merchant said that his axe fell into the river and he is too poor to buy a new axe the forest spirit jumped into the river and came back with a golden axe on seeing the golden axe the greedy merchant shouted in joy it is mine the forest spirit put the axe back into the water and disappear saying he is a liar thus the greedy merchant lost his axe.
