The Woodcutter and the Ghost (229 words) In a village
lived a poor woodcutter. He with his wife and son and daughter somehow
managed to spend the days. Often he used to think about how he would be able
to keep his wife, son and daughter happy. He often stayed very sad regarding
this. He used to spend his days like this. One day the
woodcutter went into the forest to cut wood. The moment he hit his axe
against a tree a light emerged out of it. The woodcutter got very scared. He
was just about to run away with his axe when a ghost came out from that
light and stood in front of the woodcutter. The ghost told the woodcutter,
“Do not be scared. I will not harm you. On the contrary you please do not
harm us. The tree which you are felling is our home. Please do not snatch
away our shelter from us. In exchange of that I am giving you a golden
plate. You will get anything you want from this plate.” Saying this, the
ghost vanished. Very pleased, the woodcutter took the plate home and
explained every happening to everyone. The woodcutter asked for gold from
the plate. He got the gold. Selling that gold the woodcutter gradually
became a very rich man. He could make his wife, son and daughter happy. The
woodcutter had no more sorrows.
