Thompson K842: Dupe persuaded to take prisoner's place in a sack: killed.

Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

The full K842 entry is “Dupe persuaded to take prisoner’s place in a sack: killed.” Jacob is confined for drowning, feigns reluctance to become mayor, and persuades the shepherd to exchange places; the villagers throw the shepherd into the pond and drown him. The catalogue’s additional description gives heaven/princess as typical shouted refusals, but does not make that exact reward an invariant requirement; the same trick of false reluctance induces the dupe to replace the trickster.
