"A piece of bread" the original:
Once upon a time, there was a famine in a place. A rich baker called the twenty poorest children in the city and said to them, "Children, each of you has a loaf of bread in this basket. You can come and get a loaf of bread every day before God brings good times. "
These hungry children are around the basket, pushing and screaming, because each of them wants the biggest bread. Finally, when they got the bread, they left without saying thank you to the kind baker.
But Gretchen, a little girl in rags, neither quarrels with others nor competes with others. She just stood humbly one step away and waited for the children to leave before picking up the smallest loaf of bread left in the basket. She also kissed the baker's hand to thank him, and then walked home.
The next day, the children grabbed the lead as before. Poor little Gretchen only got a loaf of bread half smaller than the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the bread and many shiny new silver coins fell out.
Mother exclaimed in surprise, "Send the money back at once. The baker must have accidentally kneaded the dough while kneading it. Go, Gretchen, go … "When the little girl told the baker what her mother said, the baker said," No, no, my child, it's not wrong. I put the silver coin in the bread, and I will reward you. May you keep this peace forever.
