Trickster Discovers Adultery: Food Goes to Husband Instead of Lover [K1571]. A traveler (student, soldier, etc.) asks for food and lodging, so a housewife gives him plain food and tells him to sleep in the haystack. He sees her (through a window) feasting in the company of her lover.
When the husband comes home unexpectedly, he tells the traveler he would invite him in if he could offer him decent food. When the wife pretends that there is no food in the house, the traveler (with the help of a bird or magic implement) pretends to use magic to produce the (hidden) food leftover from the feast.
He uses pretended magic a second time to raise the devil (actually the hidden lover) and chase him away. The lover and the wife or the host give the traveler a generous reward. Often the husband buys the magic object from him. Cf. Types 1535, 1725.
