We all have read or heard the story of the honest woodcutter whose only possession was his axe. He used to cut wood and sell it, and this was his only source of livelihood. He accidentally dropped his axe in the river and was very sad as he had lost his only tool which was instrumental in his earnings. A fairy appeared and asked the reason for his grief. The Woodcutter told the fairy about his loss. The fairy jumped in the river and brought out a Golden Axe. The woodcutter honestly told the fairy that it was not the one he owned. So the fairy dived again and brought out a Silver Axe, but again the Woodcutter honestly told the fairy that even this was not his axe. The third time the fairy dived and brought the axe that belonged to the woodcutter. He was very happy and thanked the fairy. Appreciating his honesty, the fairy gave all the three Axes to the woodcutter, who happily lived ever.
In modern times, there is a twist in the story. The same woodcutter was walking with his wife, and this time his wife fell down in the river. The woodcutter was very sad, and the fairy appeared again. The fairy inquired about the reason for his sadness, and he told the fairy that his wife fell down in the river. The fairy dived and brought out Mina Kumari from the river, and the woodcutter said, "Yes, thanks, this is my wife." The fairy was extremely upset at the dishonesty of the woodcutter and asked him why he lied. The woodcutter said that if he told the fairy that Mina Kumari is not his wife, then the fairy would dive and bring out Mala Sinha, and then in the third time, bring out his wife and tell him to keep all three. He could not afford to have three wives, that's why he accepted Mina Kumari. The fairy was speechless. The woodcutter ever lived happily (who would not in the company of Mina Kumari?)
