Hungry Peasant  Sarah Cate N.  One day a long time ago, there was a very hungry man. On his farm, his vegetables and fruit never grew. He had a big family, which he could never feed. One day when he was very hungry he went out and stole a chicken. When he got this chicken, he took it way into the forest, started a fire and cooked the chicken. When he took it off the fire he waited for it to be cool enough to eat. All of a sudden, a stranger came up to him and said “May I have some of your food?” The hungry man looked at him “I do not have any food” He said. “Yes you do, I can smell it.” The stranger said. “Well I’m not giving you any.” He said. “You will once you know who I am.” The stranger betted. “Well who are you?” The hungry man asked. “I am a lord.” The stranger said in a matter-of-fact way. “Then no matter what, I will not give you any. You kill the poor, and you only take care of those you like.” And with that the god walked away. Then another stranger walked up. “May I have some of your food?” He asked. “No” the hungry man replied. “You’ll give it to me once you know who I am.” The stranger betted.” Well who are you?” The hungry man asked. “I am death” the stranger replied. “Then I will give you food, you take away all, you do not have favorites.”
