Two beggars knocked on the door asking for bread. One beggar was given a loaf and sent away. The other was kept waiting and waiting. At length, the second beggar became concerned. "Why am I being denied? What is so lacking in me that the other one was favored over me?" he asked himself. Unknown to the beggar, a fresh loaf was being baked for him inside the house.
