content
A hiker runs out of money and kills what he thinks is a rich Jew in the forest who has only eight Heller. The Jew predicts that the clear sun will bring it out. The man marries and finally calms down, the sun can hardly do that. Once it is reflected in his coffee and throws sun circles on the wall. Then he inadvertently betrays himself to his wife, who divulges it. He is beheaded, the woman hangs herself.
origin
The text is apparently based on Grimm's The Clear Sun brings it to light , as Bechstein also states. To “woe cried!” Cf. The Jew in the Thorn and Musäus' Richilde . Cf. Bechstein's God Everywhere and Das Parthuhn , for the evil wanderer also Schneider Hänschen and the knowing animals . The coffee probably shows that the man became prosperous.
