Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A master thief (apprentice) steals an ox (ram) of a farmer (farmhand) who is going to market. The thief drops first one, then the other, of a pair of matched objects (shoes, boots, sword and sheath, knife and fork) in the road [K341.6]. The farmer passes by the first object but, when he sees the second, he goes back for the first, leaving his animal behind. The thief takes the animal. Other tricks are also used to distract the farmer's attention: the master thief pretends to hang himself in the forest [K341.3] (pretends to be dead). Or he imitates the cry of the farmer's animal [K341.7] or sets a rabbit (chicken) free. In other variants one of the thieves takes the bell off a sheep that is following a donkey. He ties the bell to the donkey's tail and steals the sheep. A second thief steals the donkey by offering to take care of it while the owner goes to look for his missing sheep.
