Why would Jesus compare bread to a stone?

Matthieu 7:9 (NEG79)

9 Lequel de vous donnera une pierre à son fils, s'il lui demande du pain?

It is possible that a loaf of bread at the time was baked in such a way that it could resemble a smooth round stone. In such an instance, to give someone a stone instead of bread is to play a cruel trick upon them.1
