Beschrijving
For the Long Winter. A man (farmer) has accumulated a store of provisions (saved some money, good clothing, or a sausage). His stupid wife reproaches him with this, and he says that it is for the long winter (spring, emergencies, a good day).
Later, when he is away, a trickster (beggar) comes to the woman and says (in answer to her question) that he is the long winter. (He greets her with “Good day,” and she thinks that is his name.) The wife gives him the provisions [K362.1, J2460.1]. Cf. Types 1385*, 1463A*, and 1700.
