What? To better her husband she had to pretend to drown her child? That seems extreme.

Threatening to beat up your wife. Holy shit. Granted, this was the only sort of story of that sort here. The others are way more positive towards wives and one stated that wives always are the bosses at home.

Till Eulenspiegel. Funny, I haven't seen him in a while.

boy this Jan Knolli story is really dark. Must have been some horror story.

Granted, there would be people who are thankful for been given shelter but there would also be some who would to the opposite and trick you. Granted the other story where mustard and vinegear turn out to be the big lion like dogs of the farmer were kind of funny.

Wow, that maid was not only brave but apparently very skilled if she can use a sword so good and just chop off the heads of those robbers so easily.

No wonder that the king was finally bored by the story, who wants to hear a story about one sparrow after the other coming and picking up grain?

This cowheard pretending the cheese to be a stone to trick the giant reminded me too much of the valiant tailor and the next about Jan Ohnefort and how he slew 7 mosquitos even more so, even if it has a raging bear instead of a boar. And I didn't like that, many stories so far seemed almost like copies and it felt boring and nothing frisian. At least Jan was already married and did not marry the princess.

If it weren't for a few tales here and there, I would not have continued with this book.

I can't help it, more and more tales here remind me of those by the Grimm's too much actually. And the book is back at the old problem of having nothing that would tell you that it is frisian. I am thinking about stopping the book to be honest.
