A grain of corn the size of a hen's egg is found and is taken to the king.
The king wanted to know where such a large grain could come from, and he had his men bring him an old peasant, hoping that he might know something of it.
An old decrepit peasant, nearly blind and unable to walk, was brought before the king.
The father was apparently healthier than the son, with only one bad leg and better eyes.
That peasant's father was found, and he was a healthy man with good legs and bright eyes.
