Beschrijving
The Blind Fiancée. A young woman of marriageable age is blind (half blind, nearsighted). When a suitor visits her, the young woman and her mother try to trick him into overlooking the daughter’s disability. The mother hides a nail somewhere (in the hay, on the floor) where the daughter can pretend to find it. Later, the daughter reveals her poor vision by mistaking the butter (coffee pot) for the cat and shooing it off the table. The suitor leaves [K1984.5].
In some variants the suitor asks her to kiss him and presents his naked backside for the kiss [K1225].
