Beschrijving
Flight of the Woman and her Lover from the Stable. When the husband is away from home a servant (guest, the husband himself) accidentally (from the roof) observes the housewife (his wife) with her lover (man, priest). When the servant is asked why he did so little work, he recites a verse that describes what he saw (he describes the event in the form of a story which he tells at dinner). The wife gives him money to stop telling the story [K1271.1.4.1]. He concludes by saying that it was only a dream [J1155].
In some Estonian variants the tale continues: Because there are too many guests, the housewife cannot receive her lover. One guest pretends to be the housewife and refuses to let the lover come in, but instead castrates the lover through the window.
