The Star Money

Once a small girl whose parents had died, was left with nothing but the clothes on her back and a piece of bread in her hand. She met a poor, hungry man and gave him the bread. She met a cold child, asking for a cap, and gave him hers. One by one she gives each piece of clothing to someone in need. With nothing else left, the stars suddenly fall from heaven, changing into coins...and although she had given her shift away, she has a new fine linen one, in which she gathers the coins and is rich the rest of her life.
