The disciple of Abba Theodore said, 'A certain man on one occasion came to sell onions, and he filled a basin with some of them and gave them to us; and the old man said to me, ' Fill [the basin] with wheat and give it to him.' Now there were two baskets of wheat there, one full of clean wheat, and the other was full of wheat which was dirty, and I filled the basin with the dirty wheat and gave it to him. Then the old man looked at me in wrath and anger, and in my fear I fell down, and broke the basin; and the old man said to me, 'Arise, you are not akin to me, but I know well what I said to you.' And the old man went in and filled his garment with clean wheat, and gave it to the man with the onions, together with his onions.'
