A legend of the northland is the story about the life nearer to the northern pole in which long nights, dark nights and short days are experienced leading to lack of sleep. Because of extreme cold children look like bear’s cubs in because of funny and furry clothes. Even with lack of faith in the mythological story, yet the poet decided to narrate it. The story is that of a hungry person seeking food from an old lady, who, due to greed ends up rebaking small cakes only to bake an even smaller one. She infuriates the man, Saint Peter, who curses and therefore she results in being cursed as a bird wandering for food. Ultimately teaching the lesson of greed being costly, as a moral.
Once Saint Peter went out for his usual round of travelling.
He felt hungry and met a woman in a cottage who was baking cakes.
Saint Peter asked her for some cakes to eat.
The woman was very greedy and hesitant to give away even a tiny amount of food for free.
By seeing her greediness Saint Peter got angry and cursed her to abandon her human form only to search for food all day in dry woods.
She then transformed into a woodpecker.
