A baker always gave extra bread to those in need. When he was asked why he did this, he explained that he was merely returning the extra flour that the wind had blown into his shop from a neighboring mill. This parable teaches us that acts of kindness and generosity are often rewarded and that we should always be willing to share our blessings with others.
