Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A princess is offered in marriage to any man who outwits her in repartee [H507.1]. On the way to the contest the youngest of three brothers (stupid boy, suitor) picks up rubbish: a dead crow, an egg, and other objects. The (two) elder brothers fail in talking to the princess. The youngest brother, by producing these objects at the proper time, is able to give an eloquent (often obscene) answer to each of the princess' questions [H507.1.0.1]. He wins her as his bride. In some variants he is imprisoned and escapes by means of his magic tablecloth [D1395.2], magic purse [D1395.3] and magic fiddle [D1415.2.5]. He uses his magic fiddle to capture the princess and will release her only if she says, "No" to all his questions [K1331, Type 853A]. By this means he wins her to his desires and marries her [L161].

Combinations: This type is usually combined with episodes of one or more other types, esp. 570, 571, 850, and 852.
