A traveller passing by saw the thing bought it from the children for a penny and taking it to town sold it to the King as a curiosity. The King called together his wise men and told them to find out what the thing was. The wise men pondered and pondered and could not make head or tail of it till one day when the thing was lying on a window-sill a hen flew in and pecked at it till she made a hole in it and then every one saw that it was a grain of corn. The wise men went to the King and said It is a grain of corn. At this the King was much surprised and he ordered the learned men to find out when and where such corn had grown. The learned men pondered again and searched in their books but could find nothing about it. So they returned to the King and said We can give you no answer. There is nothing about it in our books. You will have to ask the peasants perhaps some of them may have heard from their fathers when and where grain grew to such a size. So the King gave orders that some very old peasant should be brought before him and his servants found such a man and brought him to the King. Old and bent ashy pale and toothless he just managed with the help of two crutches to totter into the King s presence. The King showed him the grain but the old man could hardly see it he took it however and felt it with his hands. The King questioned him saying Can you tell us old man where such grain as this grew Have you ever bought such corn or sown such in your fields The old man was so deaf that he could hardly hear what the King said and only understood with great difficulty. No he answered at last I never sowed nor reaped any like it in my fields nor did I ever buy any such. When we bought corn the grains were always as small as they are now. But you might ask my father. He may have heard
