In the story from Jewish folklore, a poor Jew who worked for a landlord, the poritz, was going to be banished from his property. The poor innkeeper expressed faith in G-d. The poritz had a treasury filled with gold coins, which he would polish and spit on. His pet monkey, observing this behavior, mistakenly thought the poritz was eating the coins and followed suit. The monkey ate so many coins that it died.

Upon discovering the dead monkey in the treasury, the poritz, still angry at the Jew, had the monkey thrown into the Jew's house. To everyone's surprise, the monkey's stomach burst open upon impact, revealing the gold coins it had consumed. The Jew was then able to purchase an abundance of provisions for Pesach.

When the poritz sent his servant to check on the Jew, expecting to find him suffering without food, the servant reported back that the Jew's house was full of food and drink. Realizing the providence of God.
