Beschrijving
“Who Gives his Own Goods Shall Receive it Back Tenfold.” A preacher gives a sermon saying that whoever gives alms will receive them back tenfold [J1262.5.1]. A farmer brings him his only cow. In the evening, she goes back home to the farmer, and all the preacher’s cows follow her. The farmer wants to keep all the cows because God has sent them to him [K366.1.1].
The farmer and the preacher agree that the cows will belong to whichever of them says, “Good morning” to the other first [K176]. The farmer stays secretly in the preacher’s house and sees that the preacher spends the night with his female servant. In the morning, the farmer greets the preacher and lets him know that he is aware of his liason. The preacher lets the farmer keep the cows.
