Answer 1

A Legend of the Northland (Poem)

This is a traditional, popular story composed in the style of a ballad. It narrates the legend of how St. Peter had once cursed an old lady for being mean and greed. Saint Peter goes to a cottage and asks a woman for food. The woman refuses to share even a small amount of food. The woman could have easily offered a little food to the saint. But because of selfishness, she refuses to do so. So the saint feels that the woman is not worthy of living as a human being. He curses her and makes her a woodpecker.
