content

The clever older sister, Hannele, takes care of the stupid one, Mammele, and the child, Annele. Once she sends Mammele to the fair to buy bread, but for the money she buys a doll. Hannele is angry, but from now on the doll lays a golden egg every night. The sisters get rich. The neighbor listens to Mammele. Under the pretext that her husband is beating her, she stays with them and steals the doll. But now she makes feces, they throw her on the dung. A poor man finds her there and washes her at the well. Mammele sees that and immediately pays him a ducat finder's fee.

Remarks

"Angele" probably means "little angel". The names contribute to the childization: “Annele! Wake up Mammele once! The fishing rod wants to lay a gackle (oak)! ”According to Hans-Jörg Uther, the source can not be determined, Bechstein writes“ Orally in the Saaltale ”. He had to erase some rough features, but the demonic aftertaste of heck penny or little hangman was missing . See Bechstein's Golden Cockerel , Basiles The Goose , Straparolas Adamantina .
