Beschrijving
Friar Adds Missing Nose (fingers) to unborn child. (Including the previous Type 1726*.) A clergyman (neighbor, friend) seduces a pregnant woman by telling her that her fetus has not been constructed properly by her husband. He offers to add the missing parts (nose, ears, head, limbs) for her [K1363.2].
In some variants, the tale continues: When the husband returns home, he thanks the clergyman for his help.
Or, the husband takes revenge by inviting the clergyman and his daughter to dinner. He steals the daughter’s ring and convinces that it has gone inside her body. He offers to retrieve it by having sex with her, and she agrees [K1315.2.2].
