THE MAN AND THE WOOD 



MAN came into a Wood one day 

 with an axe in his hand, and 

 begged all the Trees to give him a 

 small branch which he wanted for 

 a particular purpose. The Trees were good-

 What did the Man do but fix it into the axe- 

 head, and soon set to work cutting down tree
