Abstract

Olga relays two fairy tales. The wise girl: Once upon a time, an old man was looking for a suitable wife for his son. One day he sees a beautiful girl and decides to test her. He pays her family a visit. After drinking tea, he stands up and moves towards the entrance, saying to the girl: ‘During my next visit make sure that you have prepared yoghurt from liver with the hand of a man’. Next time the old man arrives at the beautiful girl’s house and enquires from the outside: ‘Well, is the yoghurt ready yet?’ to which the girl says: ‘Wait, don’t enter the house yet, because my father is giving birth to a baby’. The old man who was looking for a shelter:One day an old man was looking for a place to sleep. He enters a house and sees a woman cooking food. Not wishing to share it with the stranger, the woman ways to him: ‘You see how the pot is boiling furiously? Apparently, it wants to swallow the guest’s head.’ Without losing his composure, the man also looks into the pot and snaps: ‘No, it is boiling differently as if it wants to swallow the head of the greedy hostess.’
