One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood (木头) near a river. Suddenly his old axe (斧子) fell into the water. He felt very sad because he lost his only axe. Then all at once a beautiful fairy (仙女) came out and asked the man what was the matter.
“I have lost my axe.” he said, “It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood.”
The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked, “Is that yours?”
“No.” said the man.

“No.” again answered the man.
