ATU 1088: Eating/Drinking Contest

Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Gesamte Erzählung

ATU 1088’s first form is an ogre/giant and boy eating contest in which the boy conceals food in a bag, cuts it open, and the giant imitates and kills himself. Dummhans uses a cowhide worn over his body, opens it to resume eating, and the giant imitates him and dies. The tale adds earlier physical contests and the mother’s attack, but the decisive ending matches the type closely.

• „Da eet Hans sik eerst satt, naast awer füll he allens wat he ęten sull, achter sien Kohuut“
• „so snitt he sik de Kohuut up, dat all dat Ęten herut löpt“
• „snitt sik dat Lief up un is dood“
