Once there was a rich baker（面包师）. He called the poorest children in town to his store and gave one loaf (条) of bread to each of them and told them to come back every day for bread.

Rather than being thankful to the baker’s kindness, many of the children fought about who would get the largest loaf. They were not pleased with their present poor life and just thought about themselves.

However, there was one little girl in the crowd (人群) who was different from others. Day after day, patiently, she waited for the others to stop fighting, and she took the smallest loaf. Then, she thanked the baker and shared it with her family.

One day, while slicing （将……切片）the bread, her mother found several silver coins inside the loaf. Quite surprised, she showed her daughter what she had discovered in the bread.

So, the next day, the children went back to the store. The little girl also returned. She showed the silver coins to the baker and said,  “Sir, we found the money inside the loaf of bread that you gave to us. You must have accidentally dropped the coins while you were baking the loaf.”

“I didn’t make a mistake. These are yours to keep, as a prize for your patience and honesty, ” said the baker.
