The story follows the life of a beggar named Barnaby who lives in a small, impoverished village. Barnaby is well-known for his ragged appearance and his persistent but polite requests for alms. One day, while resting by the roadside, Barnaby encounters an old, mysterious woman who offers him a magical purse. This purse, she explains, will never be empty as long as Barnaby only takes what he truly needs.With the magical purse in his possession, Barnaby's fortunes begin to change. He starts by using the purse to provide for his basic needs, but soon he realizes he can use it to help others in the village. As he distributes wealth to his fellow villagers, the community starts to thrive. However, the purse's magic comes with a caveat: it only works for those who use its contents selflessly.As the village prospers, the story explores various characters' responses to newfound wealth. Some villagers become greedy, trying to manipulate or steal the purse for their own gain, while others remain generous and community-minded. The contrast between selflessness and greed becomes a central theme as Barnaby navigates the complexities of human nature.
