The Tree and The Axe Story 

A woodcutter cutting down a tree story

Short Story about Trees With Moral:

A man lived in a village. That man was constructing his house. The walls of the house had built. Now the roof had to be constructed on rooms. The wooden logs were needed to construct the roof. That man thought to cut trees from nearby jungle and to make logs for the roof. Than it came to his mind that he had the axe but he did not have its handle.

The man went to the jungle with his axe near to the village.

That man went to the jungle near to the village. There were tall, huge trees in jungle. He said going near the trees: "I am in great difficulty right now. I need a piece of wood. Kindly help me and give me a piece of wood.” The trees consulted each other whether they should help that man? But the question was that which tree would give a piece of wood to the man? There was a small Margosa tree also besides the huge tree. The leaves of Margosa had died. Its branches were also semi died. The huge trees ate the food of Margosa also.

The man is cutting the branches of Margosa tree.

A tree said: “I think that the Margosa tree should help this man." To listen that the Margosa tree spoke: "I am very feeble. Be kind to me and do not do this oppression to me." Besides he said to the huge trees: "First ask that man what sort of a wooden piece he needs?" The huge trees said to the Margosa by ignoring his point of view. Do not waste time talking to us rather fulfill the needs of man immediately. And then the poor Margosa tree kept on requesting but the man broke a weak branch of that tree and brought that to his home.

All the trees in the forest have been cut down.

At reaching home the man put handle in the axe and spoke to himself excitedly: "Now my work has become very easy and I can now cut the trees easily for the roofs of my rooms." Second day the man reached to the same jungle early in the morning and started to cut a big tree. The big tree asked anxiously: "What are you doing this?” The man said: "I need some logs for the roofs of my house so today I will cut all of you.” To listen that the trees began to repent. They were thinking that why did they force the Margosa tree to give wooden piece to the man? We wish! We did not do this to the Margosa tree and we would not be harmed today.
