Completing story: Honesty is the best policy.






Title: An honest woodcutter





Once there were a wood-cutter lived in a village. He sold the wood in the market and earns money. One day he went to the forest to cut the wood near river. When he was cutting the wood by axe suddenly his axe slipped from his hands and fell into the deep water of the river.

The river was deep. He could not take his axe out. He sat on the bank and began to weep.

Mercury, the god of water appeared. He asked the reason of his weeping. The woodcutter told the whole story. Mercury dived into the water and brought a golden axe. The woodcutter refused to take it. Mercury again dived and brought a silver axe. The woodcutter did not take it either. Then he brought an iron axe. The woodcutter took it gladly. Mercury was much pleased. He rewarded the woodcutter with the other two axes.

Moral: Be Honest. Honesty is always rewarded. Honesty is the best policy - Benjamin Franklin.
