Beschrijving
The Priest’s Guest and the Eaten Chickens. A man (priest) directs his wife (cook, maidservant) to cook two chickens (geese, hares, fish) for a dinner to which he has invited a guest (the clergyman). The wife and her lover secretly eat (nibble at) the fowl. Before (during) the dinner, as her husband sharpens his carving knife, she tells the guest that her husband intends to cut his ears (testicles) off. The guest runs away. She tells her husband that the guest took the chickens with him. The husband chases after him, crying, “At least give me one of them!” [K2137]. Cf. Type 1725.
In some variants, the wife tells the guest that her husband intends to put the pestle up his backside (oven-fork in his mouth). The husband runs after him, crying, “Let me put it in just a little way!”
