A poor lumberjack only had his ax.
Being out of work, he decides to go to town as a porter.
He gives his ax to his neighbor.
- Will you keep it for me until I get back?
- I keep it for you said the neighbor.
The man leaves.
He returns a few years later. He goes to see his neighbor:
– Neighbor, give me back my ax.
The neighbor answers:
- Your ax, the cat ate it.
- Is it possible ? said the lumberjack.
No matter how much he begs, he can't get his ax back.
One night, he slowly walks into the neighbour's house, takes his calf from him and takes it home.
The neighbor sees his calf at the lumberjack.
Here they are both before the judge.
- Why did you steal your neighbor's calf?
- I didn't steal it. It was a bird that brought it to me.
- Poor fool! Can a bird grab a calf?
- Mr. Justice, since a cat can eat an ax, why can't a bird grab a calf?
The judge understands the whole case. He has the ax returned to the woodcutter and the calf to the neighbor.
