AN HONEST WOODCUTTER
Poor woodcutter accidentally dropped his axe into the river. He was very upset as he had no money to buy another axe.
Just then, a fairy appeared in the river, holding out a golden axe to him.
“I found this axe in the river. Is this yours?”
“That’s not mine.” replied the woodcutter.
The fairy then brought out a silver axe. The woodcutter disowned this one too.
Finally, the fairy held out a wooden axe.
Smiling with happiness, the woodcutter said “That’s mine! Thank you very much!”
The fairy felt very happy seeing his honesty and said “Such honesty deserves a reward!”
She gave the poor man all the three axes and disappeared.
The end.

Dear Iñigo,
You are a very good story teller. I’m not a story teller but I like giving speeches, especially on current issues.
I’ve made a few short public speeches on freedom of speech regarding to our Federal Constitution. I have to understand the subject well because people can ask hard questions during the Question and Answer session. My audience are adults 🙂
