Ashes with the whip
Ash blower with the whip is a fairy tale ( AaTh 510 B). It is in the first place in Ludwig Bechstein's New German Fairy Tale Book and comes from Johann Jacob Mussäus ' Meklenburgische Volksmährchen in yearbooks of the Association for Meklenburgische Geschichte und Alterthumskunde , 1840 (No. 9: ash blowers ).
content
The daughter wants a dress made of silver, one made of gold, then one made of diamond, and finally a whip. The father becomes impoverished, sacrifices his soul for a magician and dies. The daughter wants to go to the castle disguised as a man, does kitchen work and cleans the prince's boots, which he throws. At three parties she dances with him in her clothes and disappears each time. The prince doesn't find her. After the third night, she throws his ring in the cocoa. They get married, the cook becomes Truchsess and receives the accolade.
origin
Bechstein names the source in Mussäus. The title misleadingly suggests Cinderella , but Das Nusszweiglein is more similar . Cf. Grimms Allerleirauh , The True Bride , Princess Mäusehaut , on the engagement saying also The Twelve Hunters . Cf. also in Basile I, 6 Die Aschenkatze . Bechstein's joke seems to be a joke that the prince of the time gets “chocolate”.
