Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: Two beggars (blind men, shoemakers, craftsmen), one of whom asks God for help (cf. Type 923B), the other of whom asks the king (emperor, sultan, master), receive two loaves (flat cake, cakes, roasted chicken) from the king. In one of the loaves nothing (bones) is hidden, the other one is filled with (pieces of) gold. By this gift the king intended to reward the beggar who had asked for his help, and to demonstrate his secular power. But the beggars exchange their loaves, because the one who trusted in secular power thought that his loaf was not well baked because it was so heavy. When the king learns about the exchange he agrees that God's power is stronger than his own [N351]. Cf. Types 745A, 842, and 947.

Combinations: 461, 736, 736A, 745A, 834, 842, 923, 954, and 1535.

Remarks:Documented in the late Middles Ages.
