Story Time
A man and his wife loved God and the poor. The man's name was Dorthaus and the woman's
name was Thaoupasta. They used to make a feast for the poor on the feast of the angel. The Lord blessed
them and gave them wealth and property. Every year they made a feast for the poor on the Angel Day.
One year they had no money, neither did they have any food to offer. They were sad because they were
unable to make a feast for the poor that year on the occasion of the Angel Day. They thought for some
time, then they took their clothes and went out to sell them.
The angel appeared to them and advised the man to go to a sheep seller, take a sheep and pay part
of the price. Then, go to a fisherman and buy a big fish and pay part of the price, and to go to the baker
and buy some bread and pay part of the price. The man went out and bought a sheep, a fish, and some
bread. He put the fish inside the meat-safe according to the orders of the angel.
The man went out to call the poor as he does every year. The house was full of people and the
man did not know what to do to feed them. He entered the kitchen and prayed to the Lord. He begged
the Angel Michael to help him and tell him what to do. The Angel Michael appeared to him and said, "Fear
not, open the meat-safe and give food to the guests." The man opened the meat-safe and saw that it was
full of food, fruit and many sweet things.
He thanked the Lord and gave the people food. They ate and left the house thanking God. The
angel appeared again with his white light and said to him, "Cut the fish in two." The man cut the fish and
found three hundred dinars inside it. The angel said to him, "Give one hundred dinars to the sheep seller,
and the fisherman, and the baker, and one hundred dinars to the church and keep one hundred dinars for
your wife and yourself. The Lord has sent me to you and the Lord says that you will not be in need of
anything from now on." Then the angel disappeared.
