Beschrijving
Biting a Stone to Pieces. An ogre (devil) and a man (boy, tailor, soldier) compete to see who can bite (bruise) a stone to pieces. The man takes a nut (pea) and bites it easily. The ogre, who is not able to bite the stone to pieces, is impressed by the man’s strong teeth [K63].
In some variants, a tailor must stay for a night in the stable with a bear. The tailor makes the bear curious by cracking nuts and then gives him stones, which the bear cannot crack. Cf. Type 1640.
