Once there was a priest known as Saint Peter who travelled round the earth and reached to a cottage where an old lady was baking cakes. The priest was very hungry and faint due to fasting and asked for a cake from her stock of cakes. She made little cakes but couldn’t give that away to the priest as she thought the cakes seemed larger, and yet made another which was as thin as a wafer. She was a very selfish lady and put away all her cakes on the shelf. The priest got very angry and cursed the old lady that she didn’t deserve the human form, or the food and the shelter and that she would spend her life making her own home and finding her own food by boring all day into the woods. She went quietly into her cottage and flew from her chimney as a woodpecker with only a scarlet cap on her head.
