About The Lesson

This lesson is about a poor woodcutter . The woodcutter was very honest and one day he was
rewarded by the river Goddess for his honesty. Let’s read this lesson and see how it happened.

There lived a poor woodcutter in a village. He was the only man to

earn money for his family. One day, when he was cutting a dry branch of a

tree on the bank of a river, his axe slipped from his hand and rolled down

into the river. At this the woodcutter began to weep loudly. He was very
much worried.

At that very time the

river Goddess came out
and saw the wood

cutter. She offered

him a golden axe.

But the woodcutter
refused to take it.
