Ashiepattle. See "Jætten og Veslegutten," _Friis_.
[70] See note, vol. i. p. 407.
[71] _The Death of Dermid_, by Ferguson, may also be compared. Where the
hero is slain by the envenomed bristle piercing his foot. For this part
of the poem, vide _Dublin Magazine_, 1868, p. 594.
[72] See p. 335, _ante_.
[73] The witch's daughter in the "Two Orphans" is lame of one foot. See
p. 221.
[74] There is a curious tale of a relation of my own who was popularly
said to be able to cure people of ague by going to a thorn and shaking
while she said: "Shake, good tree, shake for So-and-so," and then the
disease fled. I have heard that the good old dame was herself always
very ill after this operation. The hanging of a lock of hair on a tree,
I presume, was understood to be the same as taking the afflicted person
to the tree.
[75] See also another Lapp tale, "Haccis Ædne." _Notes and Queries_, 7th
s. ii. Aug. 7, 1886.
[76] I have often had this tale told to me by my nurse when a child, and
heard the following version a short time ago in Holderness, and was
informed it had been told thus for ages: "There was a stepmother who was
very unkind to her stepdaughter and very kind to her own daughter; and
used to send her stepdaughter to do all the dirty work. One day she sent
her to the pump for some water when a little frog came up through the
sink and asked her not to pour dirty water down, as his drawing-room was
there. So she did not, and as a reward he said pearls and diamonds
should drop from her mouth when she spoke. When she returned home it
happened as he said; and the step-mother, learning how it had come
about, sent her own daughter to the pump. When she got there the little
frog spoke to her and asked her not to throw dirty water down, and she
replied "Oh! you nasty, dirty little thing, I won't do as you ask me."
Then the frog said "Whenever you speak frogs, and toads, and snakes
shall drop from your mouth." She went home and it happened as the frog
had said. At night when they were sitting at the table a little voice
was heard singing outside--
"Come bring me my supper,[A]
My own sweet, sweet one."
When the step-daughter went to the door there was the little frog. She
brought him in in spite of her step-mother; took him on her knee and fed
him with bits from her plate. After a while he sang
"Come, let us go to bed,
My own sweet, sweet one."
So, unknown to her step-mother, she laid him at the foot of her bed, as
she said he was a poor, harmless thing. Then she fell asleep and forgot
all about him. Next morning there stood a beautiful prince, who said he
had been enchanted by a wicked fairy and was to be a frog till a girl
would let him sleep with her. They were married, and lived happily in
his beautiful castle ever after." This is one of the few folk-stories I
have been able to collect from the lips of a living story-teller in
England.
[A] There is a traditional air to which these lines are always sung.
[77] See also notes in the Introduction.
[78] There is a similar incident in _Grimm_, "The Sea Hare," where a fox
changes himself by dipping in a spring.
[79] In Finland they say that if two persons shake hands across the
threshold they will quarrel. In East Bothnia, when the cows are taken
out of their winter quarters for the first time, an iron bar is laid
before the threshold, over which all the cows must pass, for if they do
not, there will be nothing but trouble with them all the following
summer. Cf. _Suomen Muinaismuisto Yhdistyksen Aikakauskirja_, v. p. 99.
[80] On entering a house, especially a royal house, it is improper to
use the _left_ foot on first stepping into it; one must "put one's best
(or right) foot foremost." Malagasy Folk-Lore, p. 37. _Folk-Lore Record_
1879.
[81] The "párta" is a head-dress worn by unmarried women only, in the
shape of a "diadem" of the ancients in silk, satin, or velvet, and
generally embroidered
[82] Cf. p. 365 _ante_.
[83] Cf. Gerll, Volksmärchen der Böhmen, "Die Goldene Ente."
[84] See also _Folk-Lore Record_, 1879, "Old Ballad Folk-Lore," pp. 110,
111.
[85] Myling, myring, or myrding generally means the ghost of a murdered
person.
[86] Arany says he dare not accept the collection from which this story
is taken for scientific purposes, as Merényi has drawn very liberally on
his own imagination.
[87] _S. ja T._ iii. "Pienempiä Eläin-jutun katkelmia," p. 37. The whole
of the Finnish beast stories are most interesting, and the resemblance
in many cases to the negro variants in _Uncle Remus_ very striking.
