How do you get the golden axe in city folk

You need a fountain and a regular axe. Stand in front of the open part of the fountain and press 'C' you may have to do this more than once and always pick regular axe in the options and after a while Serena, the fountain Goddess, will have an option where she has the bar that you can slide a notch up or down, move the nutch up but not all the way up and she will give you a gold or silver axe
