Beschrijving
Contest Not to Become Angry. A farmhand (poor boy, strong man, three sons one after another) agrees to a contest with his master (devil, ogre, priest) that whoever becomes angry first (before the cuckoo calls) must allow strip(s) of skin (flesh) to be cut out of his back (have his nose or ears cut off, be beaten) or must pay a large sum of money. The farmhand (third son) heaps abuse on his master or feigns stupidity until the latter erupts in anger. The master tries to flee but finally must take his punishment [K172, F613.3]. Cf. Types 650A, 1351, and 1920H.
