HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY

working all day long and got tired. Suddenly his axe slipped from his hand and ... into the
river.
“Oh, I have lost my axe,” he cried. “What shall I do?”
Mercury heard the poor man’s cries and ... before him.
“What’s the matter, poor woodman?” he asked.
The woodman told his story and Mercury promised to ... him. He dived into the river and
brought up a golden axe.
“Is it yours?” he asked.
“No, that is not mine,” answered the woodman.
So Mercury dived again and this time brought up the woodman’s axe.
“That is my axe,” cried the man.
Mercury was so pleased with the woodman’s honesty that he made him a present of the
golden axe.
The woodman told his friends all about it and one of them decided to ... his luck. So he
went to the same place, ... his axe into the water and cried, “Oh, I have lost my axe. What shall
I do?”
Mercury appeared as before and when the man told him his story he dived into the river
and brought up a golden axe.
“Is it yours?” he asked.
“Yes, it is”, said the second woodman.
“You are not telling me the truth,” said Mercury, “that’s why you will never have your
axe.”
