Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A (poor) father (persuaded by the stepmother) abandons his children (a boy and a girl) in the forest [5321, 5143]. Twice the children find their way back home, following scattered pebbles [R135]. On the third night, birds eat the scattered peas (bread-crumbs) [R135.1]. The children come upon a gingerbread house which belongs to a witch (ogress) [G401, F771.1.10, G412.1]. She takes them into her house. The boy is fattened [G82], while the girl must do housework. The witch asks the boy to show his finger in order to test how fat he is [G82.1], but he shows her a bone (stick) [G82.1.1]. When the witch wants to cook the boy, the sister deceives her by feigning ignorance and pushes her into the oven [G526, G512.3.2]. (The witch's son finds out that his mother has been killed and pursues the children.) The children escape, carrying the witch's treasure with them. Birds and beasts (angels) help them across water. They return home. Cf. Type 327.
