Once upon a time, there lived a poor woodcutter named

Ram. He lived in a small hut on the outskirts of the village.

Ram would go in the forest every day and chop trees for

wood. He sold this wood to a rich merchant and earned his

livelihood. Though poor, the woodcutter was sincere and

honest.

One day, while chopping a tree near the river, the ax

slipped out of his hand and fell into the river. The river was

very deep and since that was his only ax, he worried. How

would he cut wood and earn his livelihood now?

He prayed to God for his ax. He prayed so sincerely that

God actually appeared! When He asked Ram what the

problem was, he told Him the whole episode. God, then

put his hand into the river and took out a silver ax. The

woodcutter said it wasn’t his. God continued looking and

then found a golden ax.

The woodcutter refused to accept it too! What good is a

golden ax to a poor woodcutter? He needed his iron ax.

God finally smiled and pulled out his iron ax. The

woodcutter was extremely happy and thanked God for

finding his ax. God was very happy with his honesty. So, he

rewarded him by giving him the silver and the golden ax

too! The woodcutter was overwhelmed and jumped with

joy!
