Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: Miscellaneous Type with diverse contents. Three main themes can be distinguished: (1) A man brags that he shot a single arrow through the hoof and the ear of a deer, so that the hoof remained stuck to the ear [N621]. When hearers doubt this account, another man (servant) corroborates the lie, explaining that the deer was scratching itself on the cheek and ear with its hoof, so the arrow went first through the hoof and then through the ear. (2) One man says that the sea is burning. The other says, "Then there will be plenty of roasted fish". [X908]. (3) One man tells about a great turnip, another man about a great kettle to cook the turnip in. Cf. Types 1920E, 1931, 19600, and 1960F.

Combinations: 1920, 1920C, 1920E, 1960A, D-1960G, and 1960L.

Remarks:Documented in the Middle Ages, e.g. early Persian sources and Jacques de Vitry, Sermones communes (Jacques de Vitry / Frenken, No. 79a).
