Once upon a time there was a man who had an axe. He was a very skillful and talented craftsman, but he was also very lonely. One day he decided to go into the forest to find a tree to cut down.

When he found a suitable tree, he began to chop it with his axe. But when he hit the trunk of the tree with the axe, he heard a strange sound. He looked at the axe and saw that it was cracked. The man was very upset because now he did not have the axe that he loved so much.

He decided to go to town and buy a new axe. When he got to the store, the salesman asked him why he needed an axe. The man replied that he wanted to cut down trees. The salesman told him that if he wanted to cut down trees, he did not need an axe, but a saw.

The man was very surprised and asked why a saw was better than an axe. The salesman explained to him that an axe can only chop wood, while a saw can cut it into pieces. The man realized that he really needed a saw and bought one.

From then on the man no longer used an axe, but only a saw. He became very happy because he had a new saw that could cut wood into pieces, and he was no longer lonely because he was not alone.
