THE LOST AXE

Jayaneris and Sayaneris were wood cutters living in the same village.One day, they went into the jungle to cut some wood. While they walking in the jungle they found an axe under a big tree. Jayaneris picked up and said, 'This is mine; because I saw it first.'

"Don't say mine; Say ours because we both saw it at the same time", said Sayaneris.

Jayaneris did not agree with Sayaneris and he kept the axe for himself. Sayaneris kept silent and both of them walked ahead.

On the way, they found a gang of young men coming toward them in search of an axe they had lost.

"Ah ! This is our axe", they said.

"No, this is ours, we found it on the way; now it is ours", said Jayaneris.

Then, Sayaneris felt angry and said, "You said that you found it and it was yours; How can it be ours now ?"

The young men realized what had happend. They grabbed their axe and went away.
