1. Honesty is the best policy. Have you ever heard about the saying, perhaps the most popular in English language? It was perhaps the favorite motto of America’s first president. The wisdom is at least 2, 500 years old. It first appeared as the moral of Aesop’s fable, a story about two woodcutters — one honest, the other dishonest. The fable was a favorite with both Greek and Roman children. Any child can easily grasp its timeless moral. Here is the story.
One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood near a river. Suddenly his old axe fell into the water. 2.唯一的斧头丢了，他很忧伤。Then all at once a beautiful fairy came out and asked the man what was the matter.
“I have lost my axe,” he said, “3.我砍柴时弄掉到水里了。”
The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked, “Is this yours?”
“No,” said the man.
4. The fairy then showed him a silver axe and asked again. “Is this yours?” “No,” again answered the man.
Then she showed him the old axe.
5. “Yes, that is mine,” called out the happy man.
“I know that well enough,” said the fairy. “I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth, and now I’ll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one.”
