Beschrijving
Robbers’ Alarm Bell. In order to know when travelers pass, a robber (robbers) has stretched a wire to which a bell is fastened across the road in front of his cave [K413]. The robber seizes the travelers, drags them into the cave, robs and kills them. A girl whom he had caught stays in his cave and keeps house for him.
After seven years with the robber, the girl asks permission to go to church. She is allowed to go on condition that she will not talk to anyone about the robber or where she is living.
After mass, the girl stands before the church door and tells her story in public to the door (wall, oven of the clergyman) [H13.2.4, H13.2.7]. She further explains that she intends to buy peas in order to mark the way to the cave.
The clergyman and the village people follow the traces, encircle the cave, seize the robber, free the girl, and destroy the cave.
