Carrie went to the lake near the forest to fetch water every day. One day, while fetching the water, Carrie’s pot slipped and fell into the lake. Tears rolled down from her eyes. Just then, a beautiful Fairy appeared from the lake and said, ‘I am the Water Fairy. Don’t worry; I will bring back your pot.’ The Fairy came up with a silver pot in her hand. Carrie said, ‘This is not my pot.’ The Fairy returned with a golden pot. Carrie cried, ‘This is not my pot either!’ This time, the Fairy came back with an earthen pot. Carrie jumped with joy and said, ‘Yes, this is my pot!’ The Fairy gave her the pot and said, ‘I was testing you. You are innocent and truthful. You can keep the silver and golden pots too.’ Carrie thanked the Fairy, and went back home happily.
