When parting, a merchant gives his daughters rings which will become stained if they cause disgrace to him. The two older ones get princes from across the street, only Liccarda, the youngest is virtuous and scolds. So only Tore remains, the third prince alone, because she locks herself in the room. The pregnant women set the trap for her, for the sake of the children's health she had to fetch them bread and later pears from the palace where he was waiting for her. But she escapes him and he remains sitting on the pear tree. She lays the babies out for the prince, just gates a stone. The father curses when he sees the rings, the princes ask for his daughters and he happily marries them all. Liccarda puts a sugar doll in Tore's bed, where he lets out his anger with the knife and drinks her blood. When he then repents, she shows up and they reconcile.

Remarks

Rejected recruiter and sister envy are as in II, 3 viola . Unlike in I, 6 Ash Cat Father faithful who loses, but Kluge saves her life. According to Rudolf Schenda , the fairy tale remained popular in Italy, with 35 modern versions from Cirese / Serafini , an oral version from Fabio Mugnaini 1983/84, and No. 50 Mazzasprunìgliola - butcher's broom twig in Schenda's fairy tale from Tuscany ( Die Märchen der Weltliteratur , 1996).

The plot is similar to King Eisenhütl , whom the Brothers Grimm noted for their fairy tales in 1815, but never printed. In Grimm's comment on The Frog King or the Iron Heinrich, there is a cloth that turns black in the event of infidelity.
