Beschrijving
The Bear Trainer and his Bear. (Including the previous Type 957.) A bear trainer with his (polar) bear comes to a mill (farmhouse) and requests quarters for the night. The miller (farmer) gives him a room and tells him that the house is haunted by an ogre (giant, devil, demon, ghost, goblin, troll). During the night, the ogre appears and starts to attack the guests, but the bear hurts and expels him. Since this night, the building has not been haunted.
After a long absence, the ogre comes back and asks the farmer whether he still has the big (white) cat. The man answers that the cat in the meantime has given birth to four (seven) kittens. The ogre vows never to come again [K1728].
