Beschrijving
The Clever Shepherd. A master refuses to pay back the money he has borrowed from his shepherd (the master makes his farmhand work too hard or gives him poor food). The shepherd hides up in a tree. When the master passes by, the shepherd calls out his name in a disguised voice and demands that the master pay (assign different work, give better food). The master believes that it is God speaking to him and does what the shepherd demands [K1971.2]. Cf. Type 1380A*.
