He brought a grain of wheat over to a king like a chicken egg.
The king ordered the elderly man to call him to ask if he remembered whether there was such
a large grain in his day. They barely brought it to the old man, who was walking with crutches.
The king asked him about the wheat, but he replied:
- There was no such wheat in my time. Ask my dad.
The father comes, an old man with a crutch, sees wheat and says:
- There was no such wheat in my time. Ask my dad.
The father comes, a healthy, good-natured old man, without crutches, looked at the wheat and said:
- Yes, such a grain grew in my time, with such food.
The king asked the old man:
- Why do you, the eldest of all, walk so straight and without crutches, and your son with one crutch,
and your grandson with two?
The old man replied:
The king asked the old man:
- Did you buy the grain with money?
The old man told him:
- There was no money in our time. We cultivated it and shared one with another so that everyone
could produce it. This is done with faith.
