The Buddha And The Beggar Story

I was watching this YouTube Video about the [The Buddha And The Beggar](https://youtu.be/VOh6xUIIs3w) My question as mentioned in the comment of that video is why is that the beggar can have only 8 items in the possessions and what are those 8 items? One of the commentator mentioned that the story in thai its 8/100 (eight-one-hundred). It,s not 8 items and the other mentioned that it has something to do with the The Eightfold Path. I have a fair understanding of The Noble Eightfold Path but I do not understand it's relation to my original question. Can anyone shed more light here? What am I missing here? If there is no relation then what is the answer to my original question?
