82. Bread of Labour

Once, a saint with his two disciples went to a village. The disciples asked the saint who would provide food in the village. Just then, a carpenter named, Kalo, came and invited them in his home. Kalo thought, ‘Let them take rest till he earns money for their food.' Kalo went to a rich merchant's home. That day, the merchant had organized a banquet for the whole villagers but Kalo didn't eat. In the evening, Kalo returned home with flour and vegetables from his wage; his wife started cooking. Meanwhile, the servants of the merchant were asked whether all the villagers had eaten or not. Then they came to know that a saint and two disciples were still ravenous and sleeping in Kalo's house. Then the servants offered them meal but the saint also took Kalo's bread to make him feel happy. But just as the saint took a piece of the merchant's bread, it started bleeding from bread. When he took Kalo's bread, it started flowing milk. The astonished merchant asked the reason. Then the saint replied, “It is the bread of labour.” Saying so he enjoyed Kalo's meal.
