Many years ago an old wood cutter man lived in a wooden cabin in the forest near a lake.He gathered wood fire and took them to the down village of jungle.He sold them and with the money bought the things that need and came back to the forest.He lived there alone for many years.

Living with trees and animals were pleasure for him.Every day when the sun coming out he took his axe and went to the middle of The forest.He came back home with a lot of wood fire all his wood fire gave warm to the down village house.But one day happened a freak for him.

He used to see unreal events and this event was not wonderful for him.In a nice day of spring which the sun coming out and Sunshine was caming with trouble among green branches into the cabin.

The man has gotten up by the voice of birds. Then he put on his old shoes.He used to sing the boyhood poems that was his only mate.So he was walking slowly suddenly a crunch coming from a dry tree noticed him.

He turned his head to the voice and saw a big dry tree he thought with himself it is better cut this tree. Because the life is finished in it.

He went back near the tree and hold up his axe beat to its trunk.He did these actions many time ,but did not see gash in the stock He

thought with himself may be I am very old and has not power it is better left it and walking. The voice from the tree attractive him again,he came back and beat by power ful to the stock suddenly the body of tree opened.

Small glassy coming out .When he saw it came back and left the axe.He look at to the little people from under his eyebrow which covered his eyes.The old man has frightened and did not know what to do?

The glassy man hold up his head said that do you want kill me so you beat to the tree the old man with slow accent mur-mur said: excuse me, I did not know it is your house when the voice of the man did not finshed still.The glassy man shouted: Did you see me?I cannot believe is it possible?he said why I did not see you?

The glassy man said: the little people said:yes, you must not see me.Only everybody who has glassy white heart can see us .

I have hidden in the tree and was hopeless and waited came back to my land timely I have searched like you in your land for many days,but I did not find so you saw and found me.I came from my land here till someone help me that I took the things which I want from your land .

The old man and the glassy man has spoken for long time.The old man and the glassy man went to the forest next morning.But this time he did not take his axe with himself till that time the old man even did not know what are these colours worth?

The man thought the life without colours are meaningless.They arrived every where got a colour, green from tree,blue from the water of lake yellow from sun, red from sunset. The time was meaning less for old man that day.

He and the glassy man gathered the colours from nature. They finished their work. When the sun was setting. They came back to the cabin and the glassy man was very happy.
