Grain ear
There is no time, when the Lord the God himself lived on the earth and the earth was much more fertile, than now then in an ear was not fifty-sixty, but four hundred-five hundred grains. Then also grains on a stalk went from top to bottom, and all this stalk made one continuous ear.
But, as usual between people, much they do not give value of good fortune Божией and become after the relation to it indifferent and thoughtless.
Once there was any woman by a grain field, and its child running about it skipping, has fallen down in a pool and has soiled to itself clothes. Then mother has broken a full handful of wonderful ears and has cleaned them a dress of the child. When the Lord who just at this time was passing by, has seen, that it does, it was angry and has told: "Henceforth stalks of grain plants should not have more ears, people are unworthy ниспосылаемых it the blessings". Were during that time near to the Lord have got a fright, have fallen before it on knees and asked, that it though чтонибудь has left on the end of a stalk at grain plants: "If ourselves even are unworthy grant for the sake of in what not guilty hens, instead of that they should die with hunger".
The Lord who already forward knew, that hens in grain will require, has condescended to this request. Here on верхуто a stalk and till now still there was an ear in such kind as it then was. |
