I. Goods Sent to Paradise. A student tells a woman that he comes from Paris. She understands him to say paradise and gives him money and goods to take to her husband [J2326].

When the woman's son (second husband) tries to overtake the student and recover the goods, the student tells him, (a) that the thief has escaped through the woods: the man leaves his horse, and the student rides it away [K346.1]; or (b) that the thief has gone to heaven by way of a tree: while the man lies on his back to look, the student steals the horse [K341.9].
