A woodcutter works hard.
It is late.
It is tired.
But he keeps going.
" I will cut one more tree. " he says.
The tree is by a pond.
He raises his ax.
His as slips.
It falls in the pond.
" Oh, no! " he cries.
Mercury hears him.
Mercury dives in.
He gets an ax.
The ax is shiny. It is gold!
" Is this yours? "
Mercury asks.
" No . " the woodcutter says.
He dives in.
" Is this yours? " Mercury asks.
" Yes! " the woodcutter says.
" You told the truth. " Mercury says.
" Keep both axes"
The woodcutter is happy.
He tells his friend.
His friend goes to the pond.
He throws in his ax.
He cries to Mercury.
Mercury dives in.
He gets a gold ax.
" Is this yours? " Mercury asks.
" Yes. " the friend says.
" You lied. " Mercury says.
" You can't have this ax, You can't have yours ax. "
The man is sad.
Tell the truth.
