金斧头和银斧头

樵qiáo夫fū的de斧头fǔ tóu掉diào进jìn河hé里lǐ，河hé神shén出来chū lái捞lāo上shàng一yì把bǎ金jīn斧头fǔ tóu：是shì你nǐ的de吗ma？樵qiáo夫fū说shuō不bú是shì。又yòu捞lāo一yì把bǎ银yín斧头fǔ tóu，也yě不bú是shì。

A woodcutter's axe fell in the river; the river god brought up a golden axe, not his; a silver one, not his.

第dì三sān次cì捞lāo上来shàng lái的de是shì樵qiáo夫fū的de铁tiě斧头fǔ tóu。樵qiáo夫fū说shuō是shì。河hé神shén把bǎ三sān把bǎ斧头fǔ tóu都dōu给gěi了le他tā。

The third was his iron axe, he claimed it; the god gave him all three.

邻居lín jū听说tīng shuō了le，故意gù yì把bǎ斧头fǔ tóu扔rēng进jìn河hé里lǐ。河hé神shén捞lāo上shàng金jīn斧头fǔ tóu问wèn他tā：是shì你nǐ的de吗ma？他tā说shuō是shì。

His neighbour threw his own axe in and claimed the golden one.

河hé神shén把bǎ金jīn斧头fǔ tóu拿ná回去huí qu，连lián他tā的de铁tiě斧头fǔ tóu也yě不bù还huán给gěi他tā。贪心tān xīn的de人rén连lián自己zì jǐ的de斧头fǔ tóu也yě丢diū了le。

The god kept the gold and his iron too, greed loses even what you had.
