Transformation in Folk Tales
Read the folk tale, then answer the questions. Use details from the story to explain how the weaver changes.
Long ago, in a village beside a wide river, lived a young weaver named Sami. He made beautiful cloth, but he was proud of his skill and kept his finest work for himself. When a neighbor asked for help repairing a torn blanket, Sami said, “I have no time for other people’s troubles.”
One evening, an old traveler arrived at Sami’s door. She was cold and hungry, and she carried a small silver pomegranate. Sami almost shut the door, but then he noticed her trembling hands. He invited her in, shared his supper, and wrapped her in a warm cloth he had woven.
The traveler thanked him and gave him the silver pomegranate. “It will shine when generosity guides your hands,” she said. The next morning, Sami found that the fruit glowed whenever he used his weaving to help someone. He began repairing blankets and making warm clothes for villagers who needed them. As he gave more, he felt less proud and more connected to his neighbors.
Years later, the villagers remembered Sami not only as a skilled weaver but as a kind friend. The silver pomegranate remained on his worktable, shining whenever he chose to share his gifts.
