Summary
Kindness rewarded by a beggar's magical blessing.
There was a poor farmer and his wife, who had very little food, but they shared it with a beggar who came to their door. The beggar left them with the words, "I hope your barn will always be full." Next morning the barn was full of barley, and continued to fill up by itself. This is known as the Beggar's Blessing.
Lucy Stewart learned this story from her father.
