Beschrijving
The Disabled Comrades (previously Knoist and his Three Sons). (Including the previous Type 1716*.) Three (one to six) disabled (blind, lame, dumb, deaf, naked) comrades (brothers) (pretend to) achieve feats that are incompatible with their disabilities [X1791].
They go hunting in an impossible place: in shrubbery that has not yet grown, using only defective weapons. Or, they go fishing on dry sand or in a dry river bed. They catch game (fish) that is nonexistent.
They come to strange (decrepit) places (houses) where they meet dead people who become their servants and who give them an impossible vessel to cook their game (fish) in it. The game is prepared and cooked in a strange way and they have a strange meal. One of the dead servants dies during the meal and inherits. After the meal, the comrades go to a well (flood, river). They find a strange church (clergyman). Cf. Types 1698, 1930, and 1935.
