Honesty is the Best Policy Story
Once there lived a wood-cutter in a village. He was very poor. He used to cut the trees in the nearby forest to sell the wood at the market.One day, he was cutting a tree just on the bank of a river. By chance, his axe slipped and fell into the river. He was helpless. His axe was the only source of earning for him. He started crying bitterly.
The angel of mercy appeared before him. He asked the wood-cutter why he was crying. The wood-cutter told him the whole matter.

The angel took pity on him. He dived into the river and came up with a golden axe. He asked the wood-cutter if that was his axe. The wood-cutter said that that was not his axe.
The angel dived into the water again and appeared with a silver axe. The wood-cutter again refused to take that axe as that was not his. The angel dipped the third time and brought the iron axe. The wood-cutter was overjoyed to see his own axe. He accepted that at once.
The angel was greatly impressed by his honesty. He gave him the other three axes as a reward for his honesty.
