Why do we say it

 He has an axe to grind

Selfish motive to advance

This a story of a man who had to grind his axe but locked the strength to do this for himself .He saw a young man, young and strong busy with his grindstone. Fighting ignorance, the old man asked the boy how the grindstone worked ,and whilst the boy demonstrated this with the old man’s axe .The man kept on praising the boy’s strength and skill until the axe was ground, whereupon went away laughing at the boy’s foolishness and gave him no rewards          .
