Beschrijving
“All Stick Together”. A melancholy princess is promised in marriage to whoever can make her laugh [F591, H341, H1194, T68]. The youngest (most stupid) of three brothers (poor shepherd, son of a farmer or craftsman) receives a magic object (golden animal, vehicle) [D817] from an old woman (man, supernatural being) because of his kindness (out of pity, through a lucky bargain). On his way (during an overnight stay) a curious person (thief) touches the object and cannot let it go (the young man makes the person stick to it by a magic formula or stick) [K422, D1413, D2171.3.1]. Later other (naked) people, objects, and animals become attached to the magic object or to each other [D2171.5]. This strange looking parade passes by the castle where the princess sees it and laughs for the first time in her life [H341.1]. The young man marries her (and gets half of the kingdom).
