King Frederick and the Ploughman A Farmer's Debt and Lessons
An 18th century tale recalls King Frederick of Prussia observing a farmer's simple life. The farmer explains debts paid in groschen, supporting family, parents, children, and the needy as a moral balance. The king then offers a test, gifting fifty new gold pieces stamped with his likeness.
