Question

How did Saint Peter punish the greedy woman?

✓

Answer

Saint Peter found the little woman very selfish and greedy when she couldn’t part even a wafer thin cake to him.
He felt that she was not worth dwelling in the human form so he cursed her and turned her into a woodpecker that builds a nest and gathers scanty food by boring in the hard wood of the trees all day.
