When brigands assaulted the Polish Saint John Cantius (Jan Kanty) and took his possessions, they asked him if he had anything more. He replied he did not, and they let him go on his way. Shortly after, he realized that he did have more, coins sewn into his cloak. He ran after the brigands and told them he had not spoken in error and offered the coins to them. Astonished, they refused the coins and gave back what they had taken from him before. | When brigands assaulted the Polish Saint John Cantius (Jan Kanty, 1390-1473) and took his possessions, they asked him if he had anything more.
