一则本生故事，讲述一位穷人虔诚地向树神供养一块粗糠饼，因见旁人供品丰厚而自惭形秽，树神却因此为他指出地下埋藏的财宝，使他获封王家财务官，与一位穷人向佛陀供养类似薄礼的故事相呼应。

A birth-story about a poor man who offered a humble bran-cake to a tree spirit out of devotion, ashamed beside others’ lavish gifts, and who was rewarded when the spirit revealed a buried treasure that won him the post of royal treasurer, echoing a similar act of generosity by a poor man toward the Buddha.
