Beschrijving
Box on the Ear Returned. A farmer (soldier, fool, sometimes sailor, ambassador, foreign minister) is given hospitality by the king and sits beside him at the dining table. One of the courtiers wants to embarrass the farmer, so he suggests that each person should hit his neighbor (on the head).
When it is the farmer’s turn to hit the king, he says, “When the plow comes to the end of the furrow, the plowman has to turn the horse around.” Instead of hitting the king, he returns the blow to the man who hit him [K2376].
