A hermit who says of a man being taken to the gallows that he has been punished justly must do penance by wandering as a beggar until three twigs grow on a dry branch. He converts a band of robbers with the story of his misfortunes. The green twigs appear.
“A certain hermit looked out the door of his hut one night.”
