In Russia, there’s a story known as “The Legend of Solenya the Pickle Man”. It goes like this: There was once a woman who had come about her house, and she suddenly found herself without anything to eat. She called out to God in her dire hunger, promising that if he would only help her with some food or drink she vowed never again to act so disobediently as she did then before his infinite majesty. The voice answered that it would be done; after saying these words, inside appeared one of the emperor’s servants carrying in his hands a tray on which lay the most delicious food imaginable for one such as this poor creature.
