Beschrijving
The Husband Hunts Three Persons as Stupid as his Wife. (Including the previous Type 1371*.) This is a frame story into which other anecdotes about stupid people are set.
A man who is exasperated by the stupidity of his wife (bride, sister, daughter) goes out to find three (more) people who are equally stupid [H1312.1]. He swears that if he cannot do this, he will leave his wife (beat her, kill her). He finds three such people quickly without any trouble. Cf. Types 1332, 1385, and 1450.
