A poor woodcutter went to the woods and started cutting a tree near a river. Suddenly the axehead flew off the handle and fell into the river. Since he had no means to buy another axe he started weeping.
As he was weeping he saw an angel emerge from the river with a golden axe. The angel told him not to weep and asked if it was his axe. The poor man said, “No, this is not mine,” and continued to weep. The angel disappeared into the river and came up with a silver axe. The man again refused to take the axe and cried. The angel once again dipped into the river and brought up an iron axe. The poor man’s face lit up. He extended his hands towards the axe and thanked the angel profusely.
The angel said, “I want to reward your honesty. Take all the three axes. They are God’s gifts to you.” The poor man was overjoyed and went home to lead a happy, comfortable life.
God blesses honesty.
