Riddling
Tale
From
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Household
Tales,
translated by Margaret Hunt (London: George Bell, 1884)
.
Three
women were changed into flowers which grew in the field, but one of
them was allowed to be in her own home at night.
Then once when day was drawing near, and she was forced to go back to
her companions in the field and become a flower again, she said to her
husband: "If thou wilt come this afternoon and gather me, I shall be
set free and henceforth stay with thee."
And he did so.
Question:
How did
her husband know her, for the flowers were exactly
alike, and without any difference?
