- A Miser Gives Birth to a Child

A Miser Gives Birth to a Child (previously Man Thinks he has Given Birth to a Child by Letting Wind). A miserly man who has been married many times will not give his wife anything that she can cook to make a meal. Then, to punish her for not cooking, he stops up her nose and ears and leaves her. Another young woman takes revenge (cf. Type 1408B): She marries the miser, secretly takes some of his money, and gives him so much food that it gives him a stomachache. Then she tells him that he is pregnant. When he farts (during his sleep), she puts a newborn baby in his arms. He is so embarrassed that he leaves home [J2321.2].
