Year 5 Story

An honest woodcutter loses his axe when it falls into a deep river. A beautiful angel appears and retrieves first a golden axe, then a silver axe from the water, but the woodcutter refuses them because they are not his. When the angel returns with his original iron axe, the woodcutter accepts it gratefully. Pleased with the woodcutter's honesty, the angel rewards him with the golden and silver axes.

Good afternoon to our honourable judges, accurate time keeper, teacher

and my dear friends. My name is _____________ from Year Five. Let me


tell you a story entitled Honest always gets rewarded.

Once upon a time there was a poor woodcutter. He was very poor but he
was always honest. One hot day, he took his axe and went to the nearby
forest to search for wood. After searching for a long time, he found one
good tree near a river.
“ Hmm.. this tree is good. I can get lots of firewood”
So, the woodcutter started to work.
„Swish, swoosh, swish swoosh.. ”
„Plop..”

Oh no! As the woodcutter was cutting the woods, his axe slipped from his
hands and fell inside the river. The river was very deep. So he couldn't get
into the water to take his axe out. He started crying.
“ Oh.. oh.. what am I going to do?”
“ I have lost my precious axe. Oh dear, oh dear..”

Suddenly, a beautiful angel appeared from inside the river.


“ Why are crying my dear woodcutter?” She asked.
“ Oh, I have lost my axe…My axe fell inside the water. Now I won’t be
able to cut woods anymore.” cried the woodcutter.

The angel went inside the water and after sometime came out with a
golden axe in her hands.
The woodcutter refused to accept the golden axe.
“No, no, this is not my axe.” said the woodcutter.

The angel went inside the water again. This time she came out with a
silver axe and gave it to the woodcutter. Again the woodcutter refused
and said, “No, this is not my axe. My axe is not silver.”

The angel dived into the water. This time, she came out with the
woodcutter's iron axe. The woodcutter happily accepted his axe and
thanked the angel. The angel was pleased with his honesty.
The angel rewarded the gold and the silver axes to that woodcutter.
