Once Saint Peter was preaching on foot far away in Northland, where nights are longer and days are short. He came to a cottage where a woman was baking cakes in a hearth. Saint Peter was fasting and was nearly fainting with hunger. He requested the lady to give him a cake. But the lady, greedy and selfish as she was, could not think of giving her cakes. So she baked a small cake, but the moment she thought of giving it to the saint, it looked too big. She kept on baking smaller cakes, till the cake was no big than a thin wafer. But she could not part with that too. This angered Saint Peter who turned the woman into a woodpecker. The lady now lives as a woodpecker, boring holes in trees trying to find food.
