A farmer whose barns were full of corn, was accustomed to pray
that the wants of the needy might be supplied; but when any one
in needy circumstances asked for a little of his corn, he said
he had none to spare. One day, after hearing his father pray
for the poor and needy, his little son said to him, “Father,
I wish I had your corn.” “Why, my son, what would you do with
it?” asked the father. The child replied, “I would answer your
prayers.”
