Fairy Tales in Vietnam

Today I will talk about a fairy tale in my country that is called the Yellowand Silver Axe. It is about a young woodchopper who is very poor, his house doesn't have enough woods to cook,orto warm them, so they make him to get woods from the forest. But one day when he was cutting woods near a river, he accidentally drop his axe down in the river. He was worried and didn't know what to do, until a beautiful girl appear up in the river, while holding a golden axe, and she asked, "Is this the axe that you throw down the river?" The young man replied, "No, my axe are more of a wooden then golden, Miss" Then she said, "OK", then she dives down and come up ten seconds laer with a silver axe, and ask, "So if the golden axe isnot yours, than is this yours?", but the young man replied, "No, like I said, my axe is made out of wood.". Then she dives down one last time and come up with a wooden axe, "Yes! That's the one! That's my axe!" The young man happily replied. The beautiful girl knows that this young woodchopper are very loyalty. so she gave the young man the golden and the silver axe as a price.
