- The Three Months’ Child.

The Three Months’ Child. Three months after the wedding, a young woman gives birth. Her husband thinks he has been cheated, but she (the priest) explains to him that he was married for three months, she was married for three months, and they were both together married for three months. This makes nine months in all, so he must recognize the child as his own [J2342, J2342.2].
In some variants the father is told that his premature son will surpass other children and become a good courier [J1276.1].
