The Woodcutter and the Golden Axe story

Today, I am going to tell you an enchanting story called “The Woodcutter and the Golden Axe.” Once upon a time, in a peaceful village, there lived a hardworking woodcutter named Sambhu. Join me as we follow Sambhu’s adventures in the deep forest, where a misfortune leads to a magical encounter with a river god and a choice between gold, silver, and iron axes. But remember, my dear friends, this story teaches us a valuable lesson that you won’t want to miss!

The Woodcutter and the Golden Axe

Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter named Sambhu who lived in a small village. He was a kind and honest man who worked hard to provide for his family. One day, Sambhu was cutting wood in the forest when his axe fell into a deep, fast-flowing river.

Sambhu was devastated. He didn’t have enough money to buy a new axe, and he needed his axe to work. He sat down on the riverbank and began to cry.

A river god heard Sambhu crying and came to investigate. The river god asked Sambhu what was wrong, and Sambhu told him about his lost axe.

The river god felt sorry for Sambhu, so he agreed to help him find his axe. The river god dove into the river and searched for a long time. Finally, he returned with three axes.

“Here are three axes,” said the river god. “One is made of gold, one is made of silver, and one is made of iron. Which one is yours?”

Sambhu looked at the three axes and said, “The one made of iron is mine. I am a poor man, and I need an axe that I can use to work. The gold and silver axes are too valuable for me.”

The river god was impressed by Sambhu’s honesty. “I am pleased with your honesty,” said the river god. “I will give you all three axes as a reward for your good character.”

Sambhu was overjoyed. He thanked the river god and returned to his village with his new axes. He was able to work hard and provide for his family, and he lived happily ever after.

Moral of the story:

Honesty is the best policy.
Good people are rewarded for their good deeds.
