00:00The woodcutter's axe
00:01A poor woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree by a swiftly flowing river.
00:09By chance, his axe slipped from his hands and fell into the river.
00:14As he had only that axe to work with, the woodcutter jumped into the river to retrieve it.
00:21But alas, he could not find it as the river water had swept it away.
00:26The woodcutter grew sad and sat down by the riverside crying loudly.
00:34Hearing his cries, God Mercury appeared.
00:38Why are you crying?
00:40My lord, my axe fell into the river.
00:43How will I cut wood to earn my living?
00:46God Mercury went into the river and came out with a golden axe.
00:50He said, take this, I have found your axe.
00:53No sir, this is not mine.
00:56I can't take it.
00:58God Mercury dived into the flowing waters.
01:01Once again, he came up with a silver axe this time.
01:04But the woodcutter refused to take that axe.
01:07The third time, God Mercury dived again and brought the woodcutter's iron axe in his hands.
01:14The woodcutter leapt with joy at the sight of his axe.
01:18Thank you for getting my axe back.
01:20Now, I can get back to work.
01:25God Mercury was very happy at the woodcutter's honesty.
01:30So, he gifted the golden and silver axes to him.
