Once upon a time，there lived a good woodcutter. He was a man who cared for his parents with all of his heart. But he was poor. He used to go to the forest to cut down trees.

One day, while he was looking for a tree to cut down, he decided to cut down a tree that was near a lake. While he was cutting down a tree, his old axe(斧头) fell into the lake by mistake. He said to himself, “Oh my God. If I donˈt have my axe, I canˈt cut down trees and then I will not be able to make any money. How will I take care of my parents?”  He felt very sad because he lost his only axe.

At that time, the god of the mountains appeared from the Lake and asked "Why are you sad?”    “I am a woodcutter, and when I was cutting down the tree, my axe fell into the lake. If I donˈt have my axe, I won’t be able to make any money” he answered.

"I am willing to bring you your axe.” said the god of the mountains. The god of the mountains disappeared. The god soon appeared with a gold axe. He asked,  “Is this gold axe yours?” “No it isnˈt.” he answered.

The god disappeared again. He came back with a silver(银色的）axe.

He asked, “Is this silver axe yours?”

The woodcutter answered, “No it isnˈt.”

He asked, “Then is this old metal(金属） axe yours?”

The woodcutter answered, ”Yes. Itˈs mine.”

The God of the mountains said with a smile, “ I can see that you are telling the truth. Iˈll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one. The God gave him all three axes. The woodcutter and his parents lived happily ever after.
