The Author

6. Once, a poor woodman
named Caloy went to the forest
which was on the side of a
deep river. He was working all
day long and he was tired.

8. Suddenly his axe slipped from
his hand and fell into the water.

10. “ Oh! I have lost my axe,” he
cried. “I have nothing to use to
earn my living! What shall I do?
The river is very deep and I am
afraid to dive into it. Who can
help me?”

12. Faye, a good fairy, heard the poor
man’s cried and appeared before
him.
“What’s the matter, poor
Woodman?” she asked. “Why are you
so sad?”
Caloy told her what happened
and Faye promised to help him.

14. She dived into the river and
brought up a golden axe. “Is it
yours?” she asked.
“ No, that is not mine,”
answered Caloy.

16. Faye dived again and this
time brought up a silver axe.
“Is it yours? She asked, and
Caloy again answered “No”.

18. So Faye dived a third time
and this time brought up the
axe that had slipped from
Caloy’s hand.
“That is my axe,” he cried.
“Now I can work again.”

20. Happy with Caloy’s acts. Faye
gave him the two axes a reward.
