There were 2 woodcutters A , B . They would go to the forest located on the banks of a river to cut wood .This they would sell & earn their livelihood. They would stand far away at different ends of the river bank, in order to give each other a fair share of the wood.
Their 2 WOODEN Axes, were the only priceless possession they had.
One day while they where cutting wood , their respective axes fell into the river .
Suddenly the river god appeared in front of B and said "what can i do to help you " , to which B said that he had lost his axe . The river god dived in and came back with three axes -a diamond, a golden and a wooden axe; he asked "is any of this yours ?" .To this B replied greedily "yes, both the diamond & golden are mine" . The river god swallowed him up .
Then the river god appeared in front of A and repeated the same process. A said only the wooden axe was his . The river god gifted him all three.
Moral of the story :
Honesty & ethics does get you results . In a corporate ,materialistic environment , it is easy to be distracted , seduced by riches & a desire to be dishonest ; the wrongs do catch up..never let your integrity , honesty be compromised
