A woodcutter and the fox|| Helping others is ever the best policy

            This is the story of a woodcutter and the fox, once during the summer season there lived a woodcutter in a village, every morning moved towards the jungle for cutting down the trees and bringing the woods to the market for sustaining 3 times food for his family. One day while he was cutting wood he saw a thirsty fox laying down under the tree, so immediately he gave water to the fox and the fox became thankful to him. After that, he continued his work, moved inside the jungle and suddenly he saw an old man very hungry so helped him as well. From that all, now he was having nothing with him, nor water to drink nor food to eat, but he didn’t lose hope and continued his journey, walking for long while his feet gave up and were total energy less to move ahead because of thirst and hunger. But luckily he saw a man who was in want of wood so he gave his wood to the man instead of food and water.

            The woodcutter was thankfully moving inside the forest, suddenly he fell down into a well where he shouted a lot for the help, after a while the fox came to him and found this woodcutter in trouble went to the other foxes for help and they came and helped him out. From that day he has learned a lesson, helping others maintain a chain of continuous support.
