Beschrijving
The Youth and the Pretty Shoes. A young man goes to a clergyman’s house and seduces the servant girl, the daughter, and the wife. He promises to give them each a beautiful pair of shoes which he has stolen [T455.3.1]. Instead, he threatens to expose them to the clergyman and makes them pay him not to tell. Cf. Types 1420A–D.
In some variants, he also tricks the clergyman. He gives him medicine for his bald (mangy) head and orders him to say, “I know what I know, but I will not tell.” The clergyman does this and the women confess their sexual liasons to him.
