The Golden Ax
(Chiếc rìu vàng)
Ngày xửa ngày xưa có một cậu bé nhà quá nghèo, cha mẹ không nuôi nổi phải cho cậu đi ở đợ cho nhà địa
chủ. Cậu bé làm lụng từ sáng đến tối mịt, hết việc này tới việc nọ, chẳng giây phút nào ngơi nghỉ nhưng nhà chủ
vẫn mắng nhiếc, đánh đập, bảo cậu là đồ lười nhát. Một hôm, nhà chủ sai cậu lên núi kiếm củi, lúc đi qua chiếc cầu
độc mộc, cậu bé vô ý đánh rơi chiếc rìu sắt xuống suối, con suối đó nước vừa sâu, vừa chảy xiết, vật gì rơi xuống
chỉ có mất tăm nhưng không còn rìu thì làm sao mà đốn củi, rồi nhà chủ sẽ đánh chửi cậu không cho ăn ngủ nữa,
nghĩ thế cậu bé khóc nức nở...
