Once upon a time, there lived an old lady who made cakes on the hearth. She was a miser and did not want to share his resources with any other. Once a Saint called Peter (who was feeling hungry and tired) was stopped by her cottage. Since the saint was feeling frail with fasting he asked the old lady for a cake. But the lady being so selfish tried to cook small cakes but each time it looked too big for her to donate. She finally, baked a cake as thin as a slice and did not give it to the saint and put it on the shelf. The saint became displeased with her behavior and announced that she was too egotistical to live as a human and have meals, house and a flame to keep her heated. He cursed her to become a woodpecker that would have to develop a nest to live in, bore for a meal in the blocks of trees. Her costumes were fired and she was left with her vermilion cap on her scalp as she rushed out through the fireplace. She is even now live in the woods boring and bore food.

Once saint Peter stopped by an old lady's cottage because he was feeling hungry and weak after the day's fasting. The lady was baking cakes on the hearth. Since he was weak with fasting, he asked her for a cake from her store of cakes.

The selfish lady tried to bake small cakes but each time they seemed too big for her to give away. Finally, she baked one that was as thin as a wafer. Unable to part with it too, she put it on a shelf and did not give any cake to the saint.

Saint Peter was very angry with her behaviour and said she was too selfish to live as 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, bore for food in the 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 she still lives in the woods and is seen by all the country school boys.
