　　The lake godess heard his prayer and appeared before him.

　　“What’s wrong, my good man?” she asked.

　　“ Help me!” Said the wood cutter, “ I’m very poor, and I lost my only axe.If I don’t get my axe back, my family will starve to death, please help me!” He cried.

　　Then the godess glanced at the wood cutter., “Very well,” she answered, “ You should have your axe back. ”

　　After a while, the godess brought out an axe made of gold from the lake.

　　“Is this your axe, my good man? ”Asked the godess.

　　“No, ”Said the wood cutter, “That is not my axe.”

　　Then the godess brought out a silver axe, the wood cutter said that wasn’t his axe again.

　　The third time, she brought out the wood cutter’s axe. The wood cutter was very happy and said, “This is my axe, thank you very much”
