Kripon – The Miser

Kripan

Kripon is an allegory in which the King of Kings, on a rare visit to bless the ordinary people, comes across a beggar to whom he asks for alms. The beggar is amused and considered this a royal jest. In a confused gesture of courtesy, he offered the king a mere grain of corn. On his return home he found a single grain of gold among his meager heap of corn. The beggar was filled with remorse and regret. He realized if he had been generous in his offering to the king he would have been equally rewarded.
