Beschrijving
The Thieving Pot. A poor man (farmer, orphan boy) receives (in exchange for his cow) a magic pot [N421, D851] which goes to his neighbors where it fills itself with food, money, etc. Then the pot takes its contents back to its owner [D1605.1].
When the person whom it robbed tries to catch the pot, it takes him to its poor owner where it has to be redeemed (the theft has to be forgiven). Or, the pot takes the man to hell [D1412.2].
