content

A rich Jew requests safe escort from the king. He gives him his gift on the way. In the forest he stabs the Jew, who still warns that it is coming out. A partridge flies up; the giver scoffs, that will give it away. Once when he asked the king partridge, he had to laugh. The king asks why. In the intoxication , the giver confesses and is hanged.

origin

Bechstein refers to a "manuscript from the Leipzig University Library" as well as Moriz Haupt and Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben in Altdeutsche Blätter I, 1836. According to Hans-Jörg Uther , this reference is only to be seen as a supplement to the source. See sun curls . Grimm's comment on The clear sun brings it to light mentions similar versions.
