The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Caedmon’s story might be seen as a moral teaching rather than a historical account in that it invites to think about the fact that God has given people some skills and talents that can be used to do good. People should make the best of their skills and help other individuals whenever they can.
Caedmon was an English herdsman in the 680s. He became a monk and did not know that he had the gift to write poetry and songs. After one night when he had a dream, he could write poetry and went to live in the monastery of Streaneshalch.
