One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a
river, his axe fell into the river. When he began crying, God appeared and asked him, “Why are you crying?”
The woodcutter told Him that he had dropped his axe into water. God went
down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. “Is this your axe?”,
God asked.
The woodcutter said “No”. God again went down and came up with a silver
axe.“Is this your axe?”, God asked.The wood cutter said “No”. God went
down again and came up with an iron axe. “Is this your axe?”, God asked.
The wood cutter said “Yes”.
God was pleased with the man’s honesty and gave him all the three axes.
The woodcutter went home happily. One day while he was walking with his wife
along the river, his wife fell into the river.
When he began crying, God appeared and asked him, “Why are you crying?”
“My wife has fallen into water.” God went down into the water and came
up with Ashwariya. “Is this your wife?”, God asked. “Yes”, he said.God was
furious,“YOOOOOU CHEEEEAT!! Now I am going to curse you…” The
woodcutter quickly said, "Forgive me My Lord. It is an misunderstanding.
If I say “No” to Ashwariya, you will come up with Anjuman or Lara Dita. If
I also say “No” to her, you will finally come up with my wife and I will
say “Yes”. Then you will give all the three to me. I am a poor man. I will
not be able to look after all the three. So that’s why I’ve to say “Yes”…
