Ans.                                                     A Grain as Big as a Hen’s Egg

 One day some children found a thing shaped like a grain of corn. A traveller bought it from the children for a penny and sold it to the king. The king called together his wise men and told them to find out what the thing was. The wise men told him that it was a grain of corn. The king ordered the wise men to find out when and where such corn had grown. The wise men presented an old farmer. He was pale, toothless and walked on crutches. The old man saw the grain. He told the king that he never sowed or reaped any grain like it in the fields. Perhaps his father could tell him, something about it. The king sent for the old farmer’s father. He was shown the grain but he also didn’t know anything where corn like that grew. He told that perhaps his father would tell something about the grain. The old man’s father was called. He could walk easily and without crutches and spoke clearly. The old grandfather looked at the grain. He told that people used to grow grain like that everywhere a long time ago. “Did you buy it or grow it all yourself?” asked the king. The grand old man told that in his time it was a sin to buy or sell land. They knew nothing of money. Each man had corn enough of his own. Their fields were God’s earth. The land was free. Labour was the only thing men called their own. The king asked why his grandson walked with two crutches and your son with one. He needed no crutches, his teeth were sound, speech clear and hearing perfect. The grand old man answered that his grandson and son made themselves miserable as men had ceased to live in by their own labour. They were miserable as they started depending on the labour of others. The old time’s men lived according to God’s law and had only what was their own.
