NARRATE : Mercury and The Woodman
Hello Everyone! Welcome to MY Podcast. Today i will tell you a story from Aesop's Fables, but before that i will review a little about a cartoon movie that i have watched before. The movie is The Little Prince. The Little Prince is a film adaptation of a book with the same title, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) by a French pilot, Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupéry, in exile in America, during World War II between 1941 to 1943. Through the story of a little boy who watches the world through naive and innocent eyes, the author takes us into the most basic human experience. This film is about a pilot who is stranded alone in the middle of the Sahara desert. In his isolation he meets a boy with golden hair and dressed like a prince who appears out of nowhere. Then the boy was called The Little Prince. The boy did not look scared and confused being in the Sahara desert alone, even innocently he asked the Pilot to draw a sheep. The Pilot's journey with The Little Prince began from then on. And now i will tell you one of the story from Aesop's Fables. The title is Mercury and The Woodman. A Woodman was felling a tree on the bank of a river, when his axe, glancing off the trunk, flew out of his hands and fell into the water. As he stood by the water's edge lamenting his loss, Mercury appeared and asked him the reason for his grief; and on learning what had happened, out of pity for his distress he dived into the river and, bringing up a golden axe, asked him if that was the one he had lost. The Woodman replied that it was not, and Mercury then dived a second time, and, bringing up a silver axe, asked if that was his. "No, that is not mine either," said the Woodman. Once more Mercury dived into the river, and brought up the missing axe. The Woodman was overjoyed at recovering his property, and thanked his benefactor warmly; and the latter was so pleased with his honesty that he made him a present of the other two axes. When the Woodman told the story to his companions, one of these was filled with envy of his good fortune and determined to try his luck for himself. So he went and began to fell a tree at the edge of the river, and presently contrived to let his axe drop into the water. Mercury appeared as before, and, on learning that his axe had fallen in, he dived and brought up a golden axe, as he had done on the previous occasion. Without waiting to be asked whether it was his or not the fellow cried, "That's mine, that's mine," and stretched out his hand eagerly for the prize: but Mercury was so disgusted at his dishonesty that he not only declined to give him the golden axe, but also refused to recover for him the one he had let fall into the stream. The moral of this story is Honesty is the best policy. That's all for today, thank you for listening and see you on my next podcast.
