content
The short text tells impossible events from a foreign country.
It ends (from the 6th edition): Open the window so that the lies fly out.
origin
The text is based (except for the final movement) on Anton Vieth's Low German dance song Another song (in Description and History of the Land of Dithmarschen , 1733), translated with a few omissions ( by groten Hupen means heaps of, not over large fields ). Grimm's comment mentions comparatively: Alterthumszeitung 1813 No. 6, p. 29 ; Viennese manuscript No. 428. St. 181 ; Keller's Carnival Games p. 93 ff .; Wolfs Hausmärchen p. 422 ; Müllenhoff No. 32 ; Meier No. 76 ; Prohle's Fairy Tale for Young People No. 40 ; Kuhn and Schwarz No. 12 .
From Grimm's fairy tales compare KHM 138 Knoist un sine dre atonement , KHM 158 The fairy tale of the land of witches . See the fairy tale of the true liar in Ludwig Bechstein's German book of fairy tales from 1845.
parody
In Janosch's parody The Ditmarish Fly Tale, two fried flies accomplish great deeds. If that's not a lie, then nothing is a lie, only the flies have flown away.
