Answer:

1. These words were said by the old grandfather to the king.

2. The name of the lesson is "A Grain as Big as A Hen's Egg" written by Leo Tolstoy.

3. The word "covet" means to envy or be jealous of something that others have. Wanting or desiring what belongs to others is what "covet" means.

Explanation:

The given quote is a simple explanation that the oldest grandfather gave the king. He said that in his time, no one has any feeling of jealousy for what belongs to others because there was nothing that belongs to a particular person. Everyone shares their produce and also openly/ freely gave to others. As such, everyone was happy with their lives and has no need to 'covet'.
