Some of the incidents of this story are found in those belonging to
other classes. The girl's face changed to that of dog, etc., is in

pop. abruzzesi_, No. 1, _Pent._ I. 8 (goat), Nerucci, Nos. 30 (sheep's
neck), 37 (buffalo), and _Nov. pop. toscani_, in _Archivio per la Trad.
pop._ No. 1 (goat). For "flight and obstacles," see _Nov. fior._ pp. 12,
415, _Pent._ II. 1, and stories cited by Pitre in his notes to No. 13,
also note 25 to this chapter, _Basque Legends_, p. 120, _Orient und
Occident_, II. p. 103, and Brueyre, p. 111. For "ladder of hair," see

As regards the separate traits, as usual many of them are found in other
classes of stories: the cloud occurs in Comp., No. 40; children born
from fish, De Gub., _Zool. Myth._ II. 29; for sympathetic objects and
life-giving ointment, see last two stories. For "kindness to animals,"
and "thankful beasts," see _Fiabe Mant._ Nos. 37, 26, Gonz., No. 6, and
the stories belonging to the class "Giant with no heart in his body"
mentioned below. The gratitude and help of an animal form the subject of
some independent stories, _e. g._, Strap. III. 1; _Pent._ I. 3; and
Gonz., No. 6, above mentioned; and are also found in the formula "Animal
Brothers-in-law." See note 23. For European versions see _Orient und
Occident_, II. p. 101; Brueyre, p. 98; Ralston, _R. F. T._ p. 98;
