She asked the man what was wrong. She listened to the woodcutter and felt sorry for him. But what could she do to help? Suddenly, she came up with a great idea. The fairy jumped into the lake and brought back a golden axe. “Is this the axe you lost?” asked the good fairy. The man looked at the golden axe and shook his head. He told the fairy it wasn’t his. The fairy jumped into the water again and brought back a silver axe. Once again, the man said that it wasn’t his. The fairy went down a third time and returned with the woodcutter’s old axe. “That’s the right one!” said the woodcutter. The fairy was so happy with the woodcutter’s honesty that she gave him the other two axes as a present. Honesty truly is the best policy. Read and take notes.
