The Stonecutter
Page 1
Long ago, a Stonecutter was hired to make a beautiful stone path for a rich man’s house. When the Stonecutter saw the Rich man’s house, he was sad because his house was very small compared to the big house.

The next day, when the Stonecutter was working, he said, “I wish I were rich.” Then, he heard a voice that said, “You have wished it. It will come true.” It was the Spirit of the Stone!

When the Stonecutter went home, he was surprised. His house had become a great big mansion! He was rich, and he did not have to work anymore!

The Stonecutter was happy, but one day in Summer, he saw the King. The King’s servants were cooling him with big fans. The Stonecutter said, “I wish I were a King.”

The next morning, the Stonecutter’s servants woke him up. They cooled him with big fans all day. He had become a King! He had a lot of power. But still, he felt bothered by the hot Sun.

The Stonecutter said, “I wish I were the Sun.” And then, he was the Sun. And he had a lot of power! He made everyone too hot. Then, a Cloud came and blocked his heat.

The Stonecutter said, “I wish I were a Cloud!” Then, he became a Cloud. He blocked the Sun’s heat, and he brought rain. He rained and rained. But the Stone never moved.

The Stonecutter said, “I wish I were a Stone!” Then, he became a great big Stone. And nothing could move him. But one day, a Man came. He had tools, and he cut the Stone.

Then the Stonecutter said, “I wish I were a Stonecutter again.” Then, the Spirit of the Stone said, “You have wished it. It will come true.” And he was a Stonecutter again. He never wished for anything else, and he was happy.
