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 down 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.
