An iron axe is worth more than gold or silver.

An iron axe is worth more than gold or silver.

結城藍人

The story of the golden axe and the silver axe is generally thought to be a fairy tale conveying the message that honesty is a virtue. But was that woodcutter truly just an honest man? Could he not have actually been a professional who took pride in his work? This is a work I conceived after reading this point being made in "Motono Yume-shi's Fairy Tale Analysis ①" (http://ncode.syosetu.com/n7391df/). I received the author's permission for this derivative work. I made major revisions at 6:30 on November 2, 2016.
