Up travel gohn

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Going a traveling (traveling, go) is a farce ( ATU 1696). From the second edition of 1819, it is in place 143 (KHM 143) in the children's and house tales by the Brothers Grimm .

content

A mother advises her son against traveling because they are poor, but he wants to help himself and always say: "Not much, not much, not much." That is why he is beaten up by fishermen because they catch really little. When asked what he should have said: “catch full, catch full, catch full.” He is beaten during an execution for this. He should rather say: "God comfort the poor soul." That, in turn, annoys a horse skin at a ditch. For his sentence "There is the carrion in the ditch" he is whipped by the coachmen so that he crawls home and never goes on trips again.

origin

Grimms locate the above version in the Münsterland and describe another from Paderbörn with new jokes (probably both from the von Haxthausen family ). Jokes about the hearing impaired or the tailor's wife who deliberately misunderstood ( Des Knaben Wunderhorn : We don't understand her ), Jan Posset with Jakob Ayrer and the students of the Indian guru Nudle appear similar to them.

The fairy tale researcher Hans-Jörg Uther names a handwritten version by Jenny von Droste-Hülshoff as the origin and compares a version in Martin Montanuss Gartengesellschaft (No. 50) and in Michael Christoph Benz ' New Sound of Jubilation . Foolish teasing has been popular since the late Middle Ages (see KHM 7 , 32 , 34 , 59 , 104 , 164 ), here as a chain story (see KHM 30 , 80 , 131 ). The text is attractive because of its realism.
