Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: Miscellaneous type. (Including the previous Type 1685A.) A young bachelor (bridegroom, often a trickster) proves his stupidity through a series of absurd mistakes (follows his master's advice literally in order to injure him). The following episodes are the most common: (1) Left alone at home, the fool is instructed to put a certain ingredient (e.g. parsley) in the food he is cooking. He puts the dog (cat) that is named Parsley into the soup [J2462.1]. (2) The fool is told to clean a certain area. He takes this order literally and throws out everything that is in it [J2465.5]. (3) When he goes courting, he is advised to cast eyes at the girl. He puts out the eyes of animals (often sheep) and throws them at her [J2462.2]. In some cases, the metaphoric meaning of the gesture is understood; in others, the young woman rejects the foolish suitor [J2462.2]. Cf. Type 1006. Additional episodes come from the following groups of types: 1000-1029, 1200-1349, 1350-1439, 1525-1539, 1640-1674, and1675-1724. In some versions, the protagonist is a stupid son-in-law. (Previously Type 1685A.)
