Abstract
-
en_US
A beautifully illustrated large pamphlet. This seems to be the familiar Western story with the following changes: (1) The main characters are an orphan boy, who lives with his brother, and an old man. (2) The boy gets the iron axe back (no gold or silver) and a commendation: You're honest. You'll be happy all your life. (3) When his older brother goes out the next day to try the routine, he gets a gold axe out of it, but when the gold axe hits water, it turns into a fish and speaks the moral: You should learn to be honest from your younger brother. The best illustration has the old man diving. The frontispiece shows the axe in its usual place.
