从前,有个叫李木的樵夫在河边砍柴。
突然,他的斧头滑落进了河里,被河水冲走了。
他坐在岸边,伤心的哭了起来。
这时,一个名叫赫耳墨斯的神仙看见了李木,感到非常同情。
他走到李木身边,问明了情况后,就跳进河里寻找斧头。
第一次,赫耳墨斯从河底捞出一把金光闪闪的斧头,问李木:“这是你的斧头吗?”
李木摇摇头说:“不是。”
赫耳墨斯又继续在河里寻找。
第二次,赫耳墨斯捞起一把银光闪闪的斧头,再次问李木:“这次是你的斧头吗?”
李木还是摇摇头说:“不是。”
第三次,赫耳墨斯终于找到了李木的旧斧头。
当他把旧斧头递给李木时,李木高兴的说:“对!这就是我丢失的斧头。”
赫耳墨斯看到李木如此诚实,决定奖励他。
于是,他不仅把李木的旧斧头还给他,还把那两把金斧头和银斧头也一起送给了李木。
李木带着三把斧头回到家中,把自己的经历告诉了他的朋友们。
其中有一个叫做王石的人,他听说这件事后,起了贪婪之心。
他也跑到河边,故意把自己的斧头扔进河里,然后坐在那里假装痛哭。
赫耳墨斯看到王石在那里哭,便走过去问他发生了什么事。
王石告诉赫耳墨斯自己的斧头掉进了河里。
赫耳墨斯下河去捞斧头,第一把捞起来的就是一把金斧头。
当赫耳墨斯把金斧头给王石看时,王石立刻兴奋的说:“哦!这就是我的斧头!”
但赫耳墨斯看到了王石脸上贪婪的表情,非常生气。
他没有把金斧头送给王石,连他原来的那把斧头也没有给他。
这个故事告诉我们,诚实的人会得到别人的帮助,而狡猾的人只会遭到人们的唾弃。
所以,我们一定要做一个诚实的好孩子。
Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter named Lee Mu who was chopping wood by the river.
Suddenly, his axe slipped and fell into the river, being carried away by the water.
He sat on the bank, crying sadly.
At that moment, a god named Hermes saw Lee Mu and felt very sympathetic.
He walked over to Lee Mu, asked about the situation, and then jumped into the river to look for the axe.
The first time, Hermes retrieved a golden axe from the bottom of the river and asked Lee Mu, "Is this your axe?"
Lee Mu shook his head and said, "No."
Hermes continued to search in the river.
The second time, Hermes brought up a silver axe and again asked Lee Mu, "Is this your axe this time?"
Lee Mu still shook his head and said, "No."
The third time, Hermes finally found Lee Mu's old axe.
When he handed the old axe to Lee Mu, Lee Mu happily said, "Yes! This is my lost axe."
Hermes saw that Lee Mu was so honest and decided to reward him.
So, not only did he return Lee Mu's old axe to him, but he also gave him both the golden and silver axes.
Lee Mu returned home with three axes and told his friends about his experience.
Among them was a man named Wang Shi, who became greedy after hearing about it.
He also ran to the river, deliberately threw his axe into the river, and then sat there pretending to cry.
Hermes saw Wang Shi crying there and went over to ask him what had happened.
Wang Shi told Hermes that his axe had fallen into the river.
Hermes went down to retrieve the axe, and the first one he picked up was a golden axe.
When Hermes showed the golden axe to Wang Shi, Wang Shi immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Oh! This is my axe!"
But Hermes saw the greedy expression on Wang Shi's face and became very angry.
He did not give the golden axe to Wang Shi, nor did he give him his original axe.
This story tells us that honest people will receive help from others, while cunning people will only be despised by people.
So, we must always be honest and good children.
