One day a woodcutter went to the forest to cut wood. A river was flowing beside it. Suddenly his axe fell into the river. The river at that spot was deep and its current was swift. The woodcutter tried hard but he could not find his axe. He was very sad, began to cry. Mercury, the messenger of gods, saw the sad woodcutter and took pity on him. “Don’t worry. I will bring you your axe,” said Mercury to the woodcutter and dived into the river.
Marcury came out of the river with an axe of gold and offered it to the woodcutter. The woodcutter siad, “That is not mine. I can’t take it.”
Once again Mercury went down into the river and this time returned with an axe made of pure silver. The honest woodcutter said, “That is not my axe either.” So Mercury dived into the river for the third time. This time he brought with him a sharp axe made of iron.
“That’s it,” cried the woodcutter joyfully and rushed to Mercury to take it. Murcury was pleased with the poor man’s honesty. He gave him both the gold axe and silver axe as a reward for his honesty.
অনুবাদ : একদা এক কাঠুরিয়া কাঠ কাটতে বনে গেল। এর পাশ দিয়ে একটা নদী বয়ে যাচ্ছিল। হঠাৎ তার কুঠারটি নদীতে পড়ে গেল। সে স্থানে নদীটি ছিল গভীর এবং এর স্রোত ছিল ক্ষিপ্র। কাঠুরিয়া অনেক চেষ্টা করল কিন্তু সে তার কুঠার খুঁজে পেল না। সে ভীষণ দুঃখ পেল এবং কাঁদতে লাগল।
দেবতাদের বার্তাবাহক মার্কারি ব্যথিত কাঠুরিয়াকে দেখল এবং তার প্রতি সদয় হল। মার্কারি কাঠুরিয়াকে বলল, “উদ্বিগ্ন হইও না। আমি তোমাকে তোমার কুঠারটি এনে দেব।” এবং নদীতে ঝাঁপ দিল। মার্কারি একটা সোনার কুঠার হাতে নদী থেকে উঠে এল এবং তা কাঠুরিয়াকে নিতে বলল। কাঠুরিয়া বলল, “এটা আমার নয়।
আমি তা নিতে পারব না।” আবারও মার্কারি নদীতে ডুব দিল এবং এবার খাঁটি রূপার তৈরি কুঠার নিয়ে ফিরে এল। সৎ কাঠুরিয়া বলল, “ওটাও আমার কুঠার নয়।” তাই মার্কারি তৃতীয় বারের মত নদীতে ঝাঁপ দিল। এবার সে তার সাথে লোহার তৈরি একটা ধারাল কুঠার নিয়ে এল।
কাঠুরিয়া আনন্দের সাথে চিৎকার করে বলল, “এটাই” এবং তা নেবার জন্য মার্কারির দিকে ছুটে গেল। দরিদ্র লোকটির সততায় মার্কারি তুষ্ট হল। সে তাকে তার সততার জন্য সোনালি ও রূপালি উভয় কুঠারটিও দিয়ে দিল।

Dear Amal,
I received your letter. In the letter, you wanted to know about the reward of honesty. Let me write about it.
There lived a woodcutter in a village. One day his axe fell into the river. Then Mercury, the messenger of goods, came to test him. Mercury dived into water and came back with a golden axe and asked him if it was his lost one. But the woodcutter was honest and refused to take it. Then Mercury dived again and came back with a silver axe. This time also he refused to take it. At last Mercury brought his iron axe. The woodcutter took it. Mercury was pleased with his honesty. Mercury gave him all the axes for his honesty. Thus the honesty of the woodcutter was rewarded.
No more today. Convey my salam to your parents and love to the youngers.
Your loving friend,
Sayed
