Step-by-step explanation:
The poem 'A legend of the Northland' is about an old lady who angered Saint Peter because of her greed. This story is of the Northland area, the area which is near the North Pole.
The story begins like this. One day, Saint Peter was preaching around the world and reached the door of a cottage where this woman lived. She was making cakes and baking them on a hearth. St. Peter was fainting with hunger. He asked the lady to give him a piece of cake. The cake that she was baking then appeared to be too big, so she did not give him that and instead, she baked another smaller one.
That also appeared to be big so she did not give him that also. The second time she baked yet another smaller cake but found it too big to give away. In the third attempt, she took an extremely little scrap of dough and rolled it flat. She had it as thin as a wafer but was unable to part with that also. This angered St. Peter a lot. He said that she was not fit to live in human form and enjoy food and warmth. He cursed her and transformed her into a woodpecker bird.
After Saint Peter's curse, the little woman went up through the chimney and got changed to a woodpecker, who had to bore in hard, dry wood to get its scanty food. Her whole body turned to coal black because of going up through the chimney. Her red cap turned to red plumage of the woodpecker. After that people have been seeing her in the trees/wood all day where she lives by boring and boring the dry wood in search of food.
