No, this is not a true story. This is a story narrated by people in the northland but one can learn a lesson from it. The part of the poem where Saint Peter curses the old lady for being selfish is the most important part of the story. This is a lesson for people who are far selfish and don’t deserve to be called human beings. They should respect the shelter provided to them, the food that they are getting from nature and the fire that keeps them warm.
