The Gemara (Shabbat, 156b) relates that astrologers told Rabbi Akiva that his daughter would die on her wedding day from a poisonous snake...The night before her wedding she put a pin into a hole on the wall. In the morning she took the pin from the wall and a snake came out on the other end of it. Rabbi Akiva asked her daughter what she had done to merit such a miracle. She answered that in the morning a poor person came to the door and she gave him food from her plate.
