A woodcutter (樵夫) is cutting down a tree on the bank of the river. His axe (斧头) falls into the river. He tries his best to get it but he can’t. He is very poor, so he begins to cry.
Mercury, the god (神) of the river, hears his cry and comes to help him. He asks him, “Why are you crying?” The woodcutter tells him, “My axe falls into the river. I have only one axe, I have no money to buy a new one.”
The god at once jumps into the water and comes out with a golden (金的) axe. The woodcutter sees it and says “Oh, no, it’s not my axe.” Then again the god jumps into the water. This time he brings out a silver (银的) axe. Again, the woodcutter says that it is not his. His axe is old and iron. Mercury jumps into the water the third time and comes back with an iron axe. “That is my axe,” shouts the woodcutter out of joy. The god is very happy with him for his honesty (诚实) and gives him all the three axes. The woodcutter is overjoyed (狂喜的) and goes home. He lives a happy life after that.
