본문내용

Once there was a poor woodcutter set out to cut firewood to sell at the market.
"Wish me luck." he said to his wife,"that I might find some fallen tree in the king`s forest."

As he marched into the forest with his sharp ax over his shoulder, he eyed the trees right and left. But all were upright and healthy.
"I`ll get some wood by hook or by crook!" he muttered.
Finally, he stopped in front of a great oak tree.
"Now here is a tree worth its weight in gold!"exclaimed the woodcutter.
"I will make a fortune cutting it down for market!"

As he swung his ax high over his shoulder, just then a tree fairy appeared before him and said," No! wait! Spare this tree. As you know, it has lived longer than you! Respect your elders!"
"But...this tree is worth a great mount of money!" protested the woodcutter. "And this is good, hard wood, I mean to make use of it"
