Answer -
No, this is not a true story. It is a legend.
The part of the poem that, according to me, is the most important is:
And he said, тАЬYou are far too selfish
To dwell in a human form,
To have both food and shelter,
And fire to keep you warm.
This shows that we must do go things for the humanity as we are capable of doing so in our human form. We should have gratitude for having food, shelter and fire. We should be generous to people.
