Question

Why was Saint Peter tired and hungry?

Answer 1

Hint: Saint Peter was enraged by an elderly lady's avarice, according to the poem 'A legend of Northland.' The Northland region, located near the North Pole, is the subject of this narrative. The tale starts like this. When Saint Peter arrived at the door of this woman's home, he was preaching all over the world.

Complete answer:
Saint Peter was preaching all across the world until he came to this woman's door one day. Over an open fire, she was preparing and baking cakes. St. Peter was famished and on the verge of collapsing. He asked the lady for a piece of cake. She didn't serve him the cake she was baking at the time since it seemed too large, so she baked a smaller one instead. She didn't give it to him since she thought it was too big.

The second time, she made a smaller cake, but it was too enormous to give away. She chose an extremely little piece of dough for her third effort and flattened it flat. She had it as thin as a wafer and couldn't bear to part with it. This severely enraged St. Peter. He stated she was unsuited to live in human form, eating and sleeping. He cursed her and transformed her into a woodpecker bird that had to forage for food in hard, dry wood. She might be seen all day, bored and hungry, roaming around the woods.

Saint Peter was a devout Christian. He used to give sermons to people. He travelled vast distances for his preaching. During his travels, he did not always take food and drink with him. In addition, he had to keep fasting. Fasting and travel were important aspects of his life. As a result, he was exhausted and hungry.

Note: "A Legend of the Northland" is a poem based on a traditional Northland folktale passed down through the centuries. It's a story about Saint Peter and the little woman who was chastised for her arrogance. The story encourages us to be selfless and to value traits such as compassion and empathy.
