theme/central idea of the poem a legend of the northland
Answers
Explanation:
The poem, 'A legend of Northland' is a folk tale which carries the moral that we should not be selfish or greedy;instead we should help the needy.
It's the story of a little woman whis is baking cakes on her hearth when Saint Peter comes to her door. He asked her fkr one cake, she felt that the cakes were too big to give away,despite trying to make smaller and smaller cakes.
Ultimately she doesn't give him any, which makes him angry. He changes her inti a woodpecker, which will always need to bore into hard dry wood with her beak to find food, thus giving the moral of the story.
A saint maintains his tool most of the time but his tolerance gave away and St. Peter cursed the wiman for being so ungenerous as not to part with even a small cake and give it to a hungry and tired traveler.
