Beschrijving
A king has learned how to transfer his soul [E725] to dead bodies, as has his vizier or another servant. The king transfers his soul to a parrot and the vizier transfers his soul to the king's body. The queen determines the truth (she hears of wise judgments made by the parrot). She tricks the vizier into leaving the body of the king and the king recovers his own body.
