The Honest Woodman

Once, a poor woodman named Dondon went to the forest which was on the side of a deep
river in Andaman Village, Barangay Gulanggulang, Lucena City. He was walking all day long and
he was tired. Suddenly his axe slipped from his hand and fell into the water.
"Oh! I have lost my axe,” he cried. “I have nothing to use to earn my living! What shall I do?
The river is very deep and I am afraid to dive into it. Who can help me?”
On the other side of the river Dondon did not noticed that there was someone watching
him. Rita, a good aeta, heard the poor man’s cries and appeared before him. “What’s the matter,
poor woodman?” she asked. “Why are you sad?” Dondon told her what happened and Rita
promised to help him.
She dived into the river and brought up a golden axe. “Is it yours?” she asked.
“No, that is not mine,” answered Dondon.
Rita dived again and this time brought up a silver axe.
“Is it yours?” she asked, and Dondon answered again “No”.
So Rita dove a third time and this time brought up the axe that had slipped from Dondon’s
hand. “That is my axe,” he cried. “Now I can work again.”

Happy with Dondon’s acts, Rita gave him the bracelet as a reward.

1. Who came to the forest?


2. Why did he go to the forest?
3. What happened to his axed? How to you think the woodman felt?
4. Who helped the woodman?
5. Did Dondon get the axe that was not his? Do you think he did the right thing? Why do you
say so?
6. Why do you think Rita, the aeta, thought of giving the bracelet to the woodman? If you were
Rita would you do that too? Why?
Do you think you are an honest person if you do not get the things that are not yours? Why?
