Summary:
Bhola, an honest woodcutter, drops his axe in the river while cutting a tree. The river god appears and first offers him a silver axe and then a golden one. Bhola refuses both, insisting that his axe was old, rusty and made of iron. Pleased with his honesty, the river god gives him all three. Lalchi, a greedy villager, hears of this story, and tries to do the same. Sadly, his greed lands him in trouble. The film tells kids that honesty is always rewarded and greed, punished.
