Text of the page (random words):
icked messengers asking him to stop baldhead gets to visit the dragon king s underwater palace and eventually wins the youngest dragon princess hand we never find out what happened to the wrinkly pig though the red pig hungarian folktales in this popular hungarian folktale type a poor couple wishes for a child one day a piglet is born to them or in some versions comes down the chimney they raise the pig as their own and when she is old enough send her to school the piglet occasionally named malac julcsa pig julie or malacka zsuzsi piglet susie proves to be a good student and goes out to pick berries in the forest with her classmates after school when no one is looking she sheds the pig skin and turns into a beautiful girl eventually a guy sees her do this falls in love with her and marries her despite the scandal and mockery of the entire town on the wedding day the pig turns into a beautiful girl forever another related version is very similar to my favorite cinderella type read about it here in this one instead of berry picking the pig makes her way into the king s garden to steal golden plums first with the help of a woodpecker and second with the help of a mole rat the prince spies a pretty girl climbing the golden plum tree and tries three days in a row to catch her the third day she literally runs out of the garden between his legs eventually he tracks the fleeing pig to her house where he proposes to court her they fall in love and the rest is history source and more info here st anthony s pig italian folktales in this genius folktale from sardinia st anthony wows to steal fire from hell to keep people warm he goes downstairs with his trusty pig companion and asks to be let in he is refused but as he is talking through the cracked door with the devils the pig sneaks in and well raises hell inside hell it roots around chews things knocks thing over pees on things eventually st anthony is let in to get the pig out he takes with him a fennel staff and when the staff touches the flames of hell its spongy inside starts to burn pig in one hand and staff in the other anthony says goodbye to hell and brings the stolen fire to our world black pig dyke armagh folktales in this delightful folktale a teacher who likes to torture students by turning them into various animals and making them hunt each other how is that for the hunger games is punished by outraged parents by being turned into a large black pig the pig ravages the countryside tearing a deep ditch into the ground but at least it can never turn back into a teacher again bluebeard pig danish fairy book in this favorite bluebeard variant of mine a girl and her two sisters are kidnapped by a pig who turns out to be a handsome but evil serial wife murderer the youngest girl is smart enough to rescue her two sisters from captivity and finally trick the pig man into letting her go as well this tale type exists with a lot of different villains devil man dragon man male witch etc but always has a smart female lead beauty and the pig there are several variants of the beauty and the beast folktale type where the beast is a pig in some hungarian versions i have blogged about before he can even be extra special such as a magical gardener pig or a green pig flying pigs dancing on blades i have blogged about this charming story and the extreme pig herding motif before here a young swineherd has to keep the king s pigs together while they repeatedly try to get away by burrowing into the ground jumping into the river or flying up into the air like balloons each time they are retrieved by helpful animal companions talking pigs that are secretly wizards and also have military training yes this is also hungarian folktale i blogged about it here happy year of the pig everyone posted by a tarkabarka hölgy at 12 00 am 2 comments labels animals folklorethursday folktales year of the pig monday february 4 2019 the last storytellers following folktales around the world 97 morocco today i continue the blog series titled following folktales around the world if you would like to know what the series is all about you can find the introduction post here you can find all posts here or you can follow the series on facebook the last storytellers tales from the heart of morocco richard hamilton i b tauris 2011 richard hamilton collected thirty seven folktales between 2006 and 2009 on the jemaa el fna the famous market of marrakesh where the five tellers of these tales were among the last who still make or used to make a living from telling stories to a live audience the translations are not verbatim and hamilton admits to occasionally embellishing the language of the stories but they are close to the originals this is not a folklore publication by a long shot so it lacks notes but it is a very enjoyable read and has a long and detailed introduction to the circumstances of collection moroccan storytelling tradition and the tellers themselves highlights i have always loved the mute princess story and this book has a fascinating version of it titled the gazelle with the golden horns in it the sultan s third son born from a black slave mother succeeds in making the princess talk he spends his life partying until one day four fairies attend his party and help him with a story the guy cleans up wins the princess and becomes a great ruler another beautiful story also had a black hero the tale of el ghaliya bent mansour started and ended with golden apples and in between the hero was helped by djinn magic horses fling carpets and all the trappings of wonder tales to win the hand of a princess who lived underground seven coins and a donkey was a fun story about three women who decided to punish a shopkeeper because he hated women and kept yelling after them they managed to trick him three times so thoroughly that he almost ended up in jail but they fixed things in the end and he left morocco deeply ashamed of himself crisis was also solved by women in the nobleman and his three sons where a villain sold his soul to the devil to turn handsome and have the ability to curse the three young man into birds and take their inheritance the wife of the youngest son figured out the evil plan and managed to break the curse some women however were less likable the heroine of one hundred and one beheadings killed 101 of her suitors in duel before she took a liking to one since we are now in africa wisdom tales abounded in this book in the trials of nouraddine a wise sultan figured out a way to make a corrupt judge return money a poor man left in his care basically the sultan gave a whole lot more money to the judge to keep so the next time nouraddine made a fuss about his small sum the judge gave it back out of annoyance and then was jailed by the sultan in the treasure room the legend of suleiman the stork and the city of gold was simply beautiful it told of how king suleiman died in the moment he gazed upon the hidden city of gold and no one ever find that place again there was also a story about how the sahara was born the first time a man told a lie god promised to place a grain of sand on the earth but people didn t listen and the sahara has been expanding ever since highlights i was very happy to find a parallel to my favorite sicilian cinderella story in which the girl sneaks into the king s garden to steal things however this one took an unexpected turn when she won the sultan s heart by revealing hos his wife had been cheating on him with a slave nour and the sultan did marry in the end another more traditional cinderella story ended on a dark note when aicha rmada ordered her evil stepsister to be chopped into pieces and fed to the stepmother the story of the red lantern was a classic tale in which a poor man wandered into a kingdom where glass was unknown he sold his one lantern for a high price and return home rich his greedy brother set out with a watch to the same kingdom and his rare gift was rewarded with the king s most prozed possession the red lantern there was also a moroccan version of the hunchback and the fairies here instead of the days of the week the good man sang good ingredients for the couscous made by the djinn and the bad man sang about bad ones many of the wisdom tales were familiar the king and his minister learned that there is something good in every bad thing in the fakir and the frog good advice saved a person s life in the land and the treasure a man made his lazy sons dig up the garden by hinting that he d buried treasure in it in t he woman and the devil a woman proved that she is smarter and more wicked than the devil and even trapped him in the end i have read versions of the imam and the wager from bosnia and ethiopia before it s the story where someone wagers that they would survive a cold night on top of a tower but then they also have to prove that distant fire did not warm them the laundryman and the fountain was similar to greek tales where someone finds the fountain of their luck and see it is barely dripping the tale of the wife who is locked in but still manages to escape with the neighbor under the eyes of ben adi was familiar from the usa among other places i have also encountered the shoemaker and the bird before it s the tale type where one has to eat a certain part of a magic bird to gain magical powers of wealth a related tale type about a princess cheating a hero out of all his magical possessions fortunatus type was represented by the sultan s daughter and the leper in a variant of grimm s queen bee the traveler and the pasha s daughter the hero after finally winning the princess with the help of grateful animals insisted on paying reparations to the families of the suitors who died before him where to next algeria posted by a tarkabarka hölgy at 12 00 am no comments labels africa folktales following folktales morocco storytelling wisdom women newer posts older
