Description
An old man prays to a famine-stricken village's stone statute for deliverance. As he lies exhausted on his cot, villagers find gold scattered about on the ground and collect it. By the time the old man has recovered, no more is left upon the ground, and the hard-hearted villagers refuse to extend to him any charity. Suddenly, the statute of the man mounted upon his horse springs to life in rage. He tells the villagers that their new-found prosperity is due to the prays of the old man who had faith in him and that they deserve nothing. Their gold vanishes, while the statue seizes the old man and alights with him into heaven as a reward for his faith.
