Who came to the cottage door and why
Answers
Answer:
the saint Peter came to the cottage door for asking a single piece of cake
Answer:
St.Peter came to the cottage door. Saint Peter was a holy man and a Christian saint. He walked around different places preaching to the people. Too much travel made him feel tired and hungry. He was in dire need of food and rest. So, he came to the hut of a little woman who was making cakes. He asked the woman to give him one from her store.
Explanation:
This question is from the poem The legend of the Northland.
The poem is a story of an old woman. Saint Peter asks her about the alms that have weakened because of fasting and travel. But her greed forces her not to give him anything. It gets angry and makes it a woodpecker who preys on hard, dry wood for food. Her clothes were burnt to ashes and left with a hood over her head. She continues to bored into the hardwood for her little food.
The poet wants to tell a "strange" story. It is the story of Saint Peter and a greedy little woman. The poet himself does not believe in the truth of the story. But he still had to tell this story for one reason only. The story gives a moral lesson. Greed is an evil trait in man. Finally punished. The greedy little woman who didn't want to give a little piece of cake to the hungry Saint Peter cursed being a woodpecker. She had to live with little food. We must show human qualities in our behavior.
