In "The Rooster, the Hand-Mill and the Swarm of Hornets" (Mss.
record by Stephens, from Wermland, communicated by Dr. v.
Sydow-Lund) a poor peasant received three splendid gifts in the
devil's place. The rooster who lays gold coins is a widely
known magic bird, and the magic mill is also met with in the
North.
