The Two Travelers

                                                 

    Many years ago two men were traveling together.

 

 They were walking along a road in the wood. Then they

 

found a beautiful ax on the ground. One of them picked

 

it up and said, “Look here! I have found an ax.” “Don't

 

say I, but we have found the ax.” said the other, “We are

 

friends. We ought to share it between us.” “No,” said the

 

first one, “I found the ax, so it is mine.”

 

    Soon after, they heard someone running after them.

 

 They looked back and found he called out, “Stop,

 

thieves! Stop thieves!” 

    The first traveler said, “What shall we do? He is

 

running after us. We shall be caught by him.” “Don't say

 

we, but I shall be caught. You found the ax, and you say

 

it is yours.” said the other, and left him alone.

    The first traveler tried to hide the ax, but he did not

 

know where to hide it. And at last he was caught by the

 

owner of the ax.
