Beschrijving
Threshing Contest. The devil (ogre, giant) and a (poor) man have a threshing contest. The man has a wooden flail, the devil one of iron. The old and weak man accomplishes less than the devil. When they finally divide the result, the devil chooses the big heap of chaff, while the man gets the smaller heap of grain [K42.1]. Cf. Type 1030.
