Beschrijving
“Where Is the Father?” (previously “Where Did Our Father Stay?”). A clergyman asks a boy (man) who the personages in the Trinity are (asks someone how he crosses himself or how he has baptized his child). The boy answers, “God the Son (Father) and the Holy Ghost” (“In the name of the Father and the Holy Ghost.”).
The clergyman asks where the father (son) is, and the boy tells him where his own father is, e.g. holding the oxen (calf) or at home by the stove mending his clothes [X435.2].
