BR 2-07: Mercury and the Woodcutter

This story is even famous in Japan. I think if readers,especially Japanese don't understand sentences in the book grammatically, it's not a problem. They can understand contents because they have heard the story before.

The story tells people that they should be honest. When I was younger, I used to be told off by parents and told to be honest with this story.

In my opinion, being honest is easy and nice. When I do something wrong or making people angry, I am always honest. If I was not honest and said a lie again and again to protect myself, I would be told off more and more.

In this story, there are mainly three characters. They have typical characteristic each other. After reading the story, I thought I didn't want to be one of them,who were the worst person in the story.

This story remind me of importance of honesty. You should read it.
