Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: While traveling on earth [K1811] God (Christ, St. Peter, Nicholas) asks his companion (soldier, beggar, craftsman, clergyman, St. Peter) to prepare a lamb (goat, cow, chicken). The companion secretly eats the lamb's heart (liver, kidney, brain, tongue) and denies having done so. He explains that this sort of animal had no heart [K402]. When God shows his might by various miracles (resuscitation, healing), the man still does not tell him the truth, but instead tries to imitate God. He fails and is condemned to death. God offers his help, but the deceiver prefers to die rather than to yield. Nevertheless God rescues him. Later God divides a treasure into three parts. The third part is to go to the one who ate the heart, whereupon the companion confesses that it was he who ate it [J1141.1.1]. Cf. Types 52, 753, and 753A.

Combinations: This type is usually combined with episodes of one or more other types, esp. 330, 753, 753A, and also 752A, 791, and 1157.
