Notes
Baer: "The tale consists of two episodes both of which occur in African tales." ... and Dundes has contended that Type 126 could be African rather than European
Baer "I would call this an Afro-American tale derived from African tradition in its overall structure, its individual elements, the characters and their relation to one another."
