Answer:
Once Saint Peter, who moved around preaching, stopped by an old lady's cottage because he was feeling hungry and weak after fasting the whole day. The lady was baking cakes on the hearth. He asked her for a cake. The lady was quite ungenerous. She tried to make a tiny cake for him. But as it was baking, she found it too large to be given away. She tried to make smaller cakes two more times but each time the cakes seemed too large to her and in the end, she did not give any cake to the Saint.
Saint Peter became very angry to see such greedy behaviour of the lady and called her too selfish to live as a human and have food, shelter, and a fire to keep her warm. He punished her by changing her into a woodpecker that would have to build a nest to live in and get its food by boring the hard dry trunks of trees. Her clothes were burned and she was left with her scarlet cap on her head as she flew out through the chimney. Even today the country schoolboys are said to have seen her in the woods, boring the trees for food.
