Book Synopsis
When a poor devout widow begs for a scrap of bread from a rich faithless baker. The baker writes 'One Mass' on a scrap of paper and places it on his scale to determine how much bread it is worth. To his and the entire town's surprise, nothing in the shop, not even the gigantic wedding cakes made for the king, outweighs the simple piece of paper.
