00:00In a tiny village nestled between two great mountains, there lived a kind and honest woodcutter named Finley.
00:08He was known throughout the village for his remarkable strength and his ability to chop down trees with just a few swings of his trusty axe.
00:16Finley loved his axe, and he took great care of it, always making sure it was sharp and clean after a long day's work.
00:24One sunny afternoon, Finley was working by the river, chopping down a tall tree that had fallen into the water.
00:31As he swung his axe, it slipped from his hands and fell into the river with a splash.
00:36Finley watched in dismay as his axe sank beneath the surface of the water.
00:41He tried to dive in to retrieve it, but it was too deep.
00:45Just as he was about to give up, a playful fish with shiny scales and big round eyes poked her head out of the water.
00:52Hello there, Finley, said the fish, whose name was Glimmer.
00:55What seems to be the matter? You look like you've lost something precious.
01:00Finley explained how he had lost his axe, and Glimmer offered to help him find it.
01:05She swam down to the bottom of the river, but even she couldn't find the axe.
01:09Just as Finley was about to lose hope, a gentle fairy with delicate wings and long silver hair appeared before him.
01:18Hello, Finley, said the fairy, whose name was Luna.
01:22I couldn't help but notice that you're looking for something. What is it that you've lost?
01:26Finley explained how he had lost his axe, and Luna listened carefully.
01:31When he finished, she nodded her head and said,
01:34I think I can help you find your axe, but first I must ask you a question.
01:38What would you do if you found someone else's axe in the river?
01:41Would you keep it for yourself, or would you try to find its rightful owner?
01:47Finley thought for a moment before answering.
01:49I would try to find its rightful owner, he said.
01:52It wouldn't be right to keep something that didn't belong to me.
01:55Luna smiled, pleased with Finley's answer.
01:58I think you're a very honest person, Finley, she said, and I'm going to reward your honesty.
02:04Follow me.
02:05Luna led Finley to a hidden cave behind a waterfall.
02:09Inside the cave, Finley saw his axe, shining brightly in the dim light.
02:15But that wasn't all.
02:16There were two other axes, one made of gold and the other made of silver.
02:21These are for you, Finley, said Luna.
02:23The golden axe is for chopping down trees that will be used to build homes for those in need.
02:29The silver axe is for chopping down trees that will be used to make beautiful furniture.
02:34And your old axe is for chopping down trees that will be used for firewood.
02:38Finley was overjoyed.
02:40He thanked Luna again and again, promising to use the axes wisely.
02:46Luna smiled and said, I know you will, Finley.
02:49You have a kind heart and a strong sense of integrity.
02:53Remember, honesty is always the best policy, and it will always be rewarded in the end.
02:59Finley returned to the village, eager to show everyone his new axes.
03:05Glimmer swam alongside him, chirping happily as they went.
03:09When they arrived, the villagers were amazed by the golden and silver axes.
03:15They asked Finley how he had gotten them, and he told them the whole story.
03:19The villagers were so impressed with Finley's honesty that they asked him to be their official woodcutter.
03:25Finley was happy to accept, and he used his axes to help the villagers in many ways.
03:31And every time he looked at the golden and silver axes, he remembered Luna's words,
03:37Honesty is always the best policy, and it will always be rewarded in the end.
03:42As the sun set over the village, Finley would sit by the river,
03:46watching the stars twinkle to life in the night sky.
03:50He would think about Luna and Glimmer and the magical adventure they had shared,
03:55and he would drift off to sleep, feeling grateful for the wonderful friends he had made
04:00and the valuable lesson he had learned.
