Therefore she kneaded another
And still a smaller one;
Bit it looked , when she turned it over ,
As large as the first had done.
1What is one in the given lines?
2 Why was she baking it?
3 Did she part with it? Why it Why not
Dear student,
1. 'One' refers to a cake baked by the lady.
2. St Peter had been fasting when he reached the lady's house. He asked her for a cake from among the ones she was baking as he felt faint with hunger. So, she was baking a small cake to give to St Peter.
3. No, the lady could not part with even a small cake as she was a selfish miser. She was not generous enough to share food with the noble Saint. Every time she baked a cake, however small it was, she found it too big to give away!
Regards
