Honesty is the best policy

Once upon a time, there lived a poor woodcutter named Ram. He lived in a small hut on the outskirts of the village. Ram would go in the forest every day and chop trees for wood. He sold this wood to a rich merchant and earned his livelihood. Though poor, the woodcutter was sincere and honest.

One day, while chopping a tree near the river, the axe slipped out of his hand and fell into the river. The river was very deep and since that was his only axe, he worried.

He prayed to God for his axe. He prayed so sincerely that God actually appeared! When He asked Ram what the problem was, he told Him the whole episode. God, then put his hand into the river and took out a silver axe. The woodcutter said it wasn’t his. God continued looking and then found a golden axe.

The woodcutter refused to accept it too! What good is a golden axe to a poor woodcutter? He needed his iron axe. God finally smiled and pulled out his iron axe. The woodcutter was extremely happy and thanked God for finding his axe. God was very happy with his honesty. So, he rewarded him by giving him the silver and the golden axe too! The woodcutter was overwhelmed and jumped with joy!

morals:

1) No matter what we should always be honest in every situation.

3) Honesty is a virtue that is found in very few people, and one must nurture it.
