📖 Short Story: The Honest Woodcutter
Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter was chopping wood near a river when his axe slipped from his hands and sank to the bottom.
Distraught, he sat by the riverbank, when suddenly a spirit appeared and offered to help.
She dove into the water and returned with a golden axe.
“Is this yours?” she asked.
The woodcutter shook his head. “No, that’s not mine.”
She dove again and came up with a silver axe.
Again, he said, “No, that’s not mine.”
Finally, she brought up his old iron axe.
The man smiled, “Yes, that one is mine!”
Impressed by his honesty, the spirit gave him all three axes as a reward.
Word spread of his story, and he became known not for his riches, but for something far greater — his integrity.
🌱 The Lesson
