There was once a man named George who owned nothing but an axe which he used to earn a living. One day while George was chopping would his axe flew off the handle and fell into the river! George was now very sad because now he couldn't cut wood and earn a living to get food! What was he going to do? Just then an old man came and asked George what was wrong and as soon as George had told the old man what happened the old man jumped into the water and with him he brought a golden axe! He asked George if the axe was his. Even though the axe was made of gold George told the truth and said no. Then the old man went back in and brought out a silver axe and George once again said no. Just then the old man jumped in again and brought out his axe. George replied, yes! When George went back and started chopping wood his friend came and asked him where he got the axe and george told him the whole story! Then George's friend got jealous of George and thought of a plan to get the axe's but not from George!
