The Girl who trod on the Loaf

Inge was a poor but proud and cruel girl who cared more about appearances than kindness. One day, while visiting her parents, she threw the loaf of bread she was carrying onto a muddy path to avoid soiling her shoes, and stepped on it. To her horror, the loaf began to sink, dragging her down from the Marsh Woman’s brewery into a terrible world filled with sorrow and suffering. There, Inge was punished by being forced to stand cold and stiff like a marble statue, her foot still fastened to the loaf. How long will Inge remain trapped in this dreadful state? Will she ever be forgiven, and if so, how? Can kindness and prayer truly reach even the proudest heart? Read this beautiful tale to discover how compassion and innocent prayers help Inge seek forgiveness and find a second chance.
