The Lost Ax

The Lost Ax
(An old Chinese story)

On a nice morning, Berry Sue came to realize that her ax was missing. She had planned to go to the woods to chop some firewood.

Her neighbor walked outside. "That guy never seems to look at me," Berry Sue thought suspiciously. "He must have stolen my ax, and look how he walks! " The more she thought about it, the more the man looked like an ax thief. Soon she was sure that the man was guilty.

One day Berry was sorting out her tools, and spotted a sharp shiny thing. It was his long lost ax!!! Now whenever she saw her neighbor her neighbor looked normal. He walked normally, talked normally, and looked at her normally.
