Short Story by Leo Tolstoy
A Grain As Big As A Hen's Egg (1886)

One day some children found, in a ravine, a thing shaped like a grain
of corn, with a groove down the middle, but as large as a hen's egg. A
traveller passing by saw the thing, bought it from the children for a penny,
and taking it to town sold it to the King as a curiosity.
The King called together his wise men, and told them to find out what
the thing was. The wise men pondered and pondered and could not make
head or tail of it, till one day, when the thing was lying on a window-sill, a
hen flew in and pecked at it till she made a hole in it, and then every one
saw that it was a grain of corn. The wise men went to the King and said:
'It is a grain of corn.'
At this the King was much surprised; and he ordered the learned men
to find out when and where such corn had grown. The learned men
pondered again, and searched in their books, but could find nothing about
it. So they returned to the King and said:
'We can give you no answer. There is nothing about it in our books.
You will have to ask the peasants; perhaps some of them may have heard
from their fathers when and where grain grew to such a size.'
So the King gave orders that some very old peasant should be brought
before him; and his servants found such a man and brought him to the
King. Old and bent, ashy pale and toothless, he just managed with the
help of two crutches to totter into the King's presence.
 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA

The King showed him the grain, but the old man could
hardly see it; he took it, however, and felt it with his hands. The King
questioned him, saying:
'Can you tell us, old man, where such grain as this grew? Have you
ever bought such corn, or sown such in your fields?'
The old man was so deaf that he could hardly hear what the King said,
and only understood with great difficulty.
'No!' he answered at last, 'I never sowed nor reaped any like it in my
fields, nor did I ever buy any such. When we bought corn, the grains were
always as small as they are now. But you might ask my father. He may
have heard where such grain grew.'
So the King sent for the old man's father, and he was found and
brought before the King. He came walking with one crutch. The King
showed him the grain, and the old peasant, who was still able to see, took
a good look at it. And the King asked him:
'Can you not tell us, old man, where corn like this used to grow? Have
you ever bought any like it, or sown any in your fields?'
Though the old man was rather hard of hearing, he still heard better
than his son had done.
'No,' he said, 'I never sowed nor reaped any grain like this in my field.
As to buying, I never bought any, for in my time money was not yet in use.
Every one grew his own corn, and when there was any need we shared
with one another. I do not know where corn like this grew. Ours was larger
and yielded more flour than present-day grain, but I never saw any like
this. I have, however, heard my father say that in his time the grain grew
larger and yielded more flour than ours. You had better ask him.'
So the King sent for this old man's father, and they found him too, and
brought him before the King. He entered walking easily and without
crutches: his eye was clear, his hearing good, and he spoke distinctly. The
King showed him the grain, and the old grandfather looked at it, and
turned it about in his hand.

'It is long since I saw such a fine grain,' said he, and he bit
a piece off and tasted it.
'It's the very same kind,' he added.
'Tell me, grandfather,' said the King, 'when and where was such corn
grown? Have you ever bought any like it, or sown any in your fields?'
And the old man replied:
'Corn like this used to grow everywhere in my time. I lived on corn like
this in my young days, and fed others on it. It was grain like this that we
used to sow and reap and thrash.'
And the King asked:
'Tell me, grandfather, did you buy it anywhere, or did you grow it all
yourself?'
The old man smiled.
'In my time,' he answered, 'no one ever thought of such a sin as buying
or selling bread; and we knew nothing of money. Each man had corn
enough of his own.'
'Then tell me, grandfather,' asked the King, 'where was your field,
where did you grow corn like this?'
And the grandfather answered:
'My field was God's earth. Wherever I ploughed, there was my field.
Land was free. It was a thing no man called his own. Labour was the only
thing men called their own.'
'Answer me two more questions,' said the King. 'The first is, Why did
the earth bear such grain then and has ceased to do so now? And the
second is, Why your grandson walks with two crutches, your son with one,
and you yourself with none? Your eyes are bright, your teeth sound, and
your speech clear and pleasant to the ear. How have these things come
about?'
And the old man answered:
'These things are so, because men have ceased to live by their own
labour, and have taken to depending on the labour of others. In the old
 PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA

time, men lived according to God's law. They had what was
their own, and coveted not what others had produced.'
