Beschrijving
Fiddevav. A poor boy intends to marry a young woman but her father (she herself) refuses. The rejected suitor receives from a person skilled in magic (old woman [N825.3], witch, priest, devil) a magic stone, which, when put into ashes, makes all people who use it (farmer, farmwife, farmhand, maidservant, preacher, daughter, etc.) stick to the poker and compells them to keep talking nonsense (e.g. “Fiddevav”) [D1413, D1413.17, D2172.1], (or, a magic root under the doorstep causes them fart). Only the suitor is able to release the people from the charm by taking the magic object away. In return he marries the young woman. Cf. Types 330A, 571, 571B.
