Donkey
A salt merchant lived in a village. He had a donkey. He used to load salt on the donkey. One day he was driving the donkey to his village. There was a stream on the way. The donkey slipped and fell into the water. The merchant tried to make the donkey stand, but it was very difficult. Once the donkey realized that the weight became lighter. The next day the donkey sat down in the stream on purpose. The master saw through him and decided to teach the donkey a bitter lesson. The next day he loaded the donkey two bales of cotton. The donkey as usual sat in the stream, when the donkey stood up it could not walk because of the heavy load. The donkey repented it's cleverness, and decided never to repeat this action.

Remember, after all punctuation (Periods, Commas, Colons, and Semicolons) you must leave a space. China, Chinese, English, and all such things must start with an upper case letter.

This one is yours:
Once a woodcutter was cutting branches of a tree beside the the bank of the river. By chance his axe fell down in water. As it was a irreparable loss for him. Therefore he started to weep bitterly. The god of water took piety on him or compassionated on him and appeared in form of human being and said" Good fellow, why are you weeping?" The woodcutter told the god his tale of woe. The god dived into water and came back with a golden axe and put it before him but the woodcutter refused to take it because it was not his axe. Next time the god came back with silver axe but he again refused to take it because his axe made of iron. Third time the god came back with iron axe. The woodcutter said,"Yes! It is my axe." The god was so happy with his honesty and rewarded him with the other two axe.

Great job! I can tell that you are almost fluent. All you need to do is watch you tenses, (Past, Present, and Future) and your pluralization of words (Adding an "S" at the end of them).
