Beschrijving
The Youth Sold to the Devil [S211]. When the devil (giant) comes to fetch a youth, his parents sew him up on three successive nights in a dog’s skin, a ram’s skin, and a goat’s skin (they hide him in an ear of corn as a kernel, on a swan’s neck as down, in a flounder as spawn). The devil cannot find him.
