n, _Archivio_, I. pp. 41, 65, _Nov. tosc._ No. 7,
Abruzzi, De Nino, No. 1. For the first part of the story, see _Nov.
fior._ pp. 332-333.

[7] I have followed in this division Imbriani, _Pomiglianesi_, p. 89.

[8] Another Sicilian version, which, however, does not contain the trait
"cure by laughing," is in Pitre, No. 28. Gonz., No. 30, may be mentioned
here, as it contains a part of our story. The magic gifts in it are a
carpet that transports the owner wherever he wishes to go, a purse
always full, and a horn that when one blows in the little end covers the
sea with ships, when one blows in the big end, the ships disappear.
Neapolitan versions are in Imbriani, _Pomiglianesi_, pp. 62, 83; Roman
in Busk, pp. 129, 136, comp. p. 146; and Tuscan in Frizzi, _Novella
montanina_, Florence, A. Ciardelli e C. 1876, Nerucci, p. 471 _Archivio
per le Trad. pop._ I. p. 57, and _Nov. tosc._ No. 16. De Gub., _Zool.
Myth._ I. p. 288, n. 3, gives a version from the Marches, and there is a
Bolognese version in Coronedi-Berti, No. 9. Other versions may be found
in Finamore, _Trad. pop. abruzzesi_, No. 30, and Bolognini, p. 21. For
other European versions, see _Gesta Rom._ ed. Oesterley, cap. cxx.;
Grimm, No. 122; Campbell, No. 10, "The Three Soldiers" (see Koehler's
notes to this story in _Orient und Occident_, II. p. 124, and Brueyre,
p. 138); Cosquin, _Contes pop. lorrains_, Nos. 11 (_Rom._ No. 19, p.
361) and 42 (_Rom._ No. 28, p. 581); and finally, Kreutzwald,
_Ehstnische Maerchen_, No. 23. Comp. also De Gub., _Zool. Myth._ I. p.
182, and Ralston's notes to Schiefner's _Tibetan Tales_, p. liv.

[9] I have been unable to find any European parallels to this form of
the story.

[10] Another version of this story is found in the same collection, p.
359. Other Tuscan versions are found in De Gub., _Sto. Stefano_, No. 21,
Gradi, _Saggio di Letture varie_, p. 181, _Nov. tosc._ No. 29, and
Comparetti, No. 7 (Mugello). The other versions are as follows:
Sicilian, Pitre, No. 29 (comp. No. 30), Gonz., No. 52; Neapolitan,
_Pent._ I. 1 (Comp. _Pomiglianesi_, p. 116); Abruzzi, Finamore, No. 37;
De Nino, No. 6; Ortoli, pp. 171, 178; Venetian, Bernoni, No. 9; the
Marches, Comp., No. 12; and Tyrolese, Schneller, p. 28.

For the other European parallels, see Grimm, No. 36, "The Table, the
Ass, and the Stick;" _Melusine_ (_conte breton_), p. 130; Cosquin,
_Contes pop. lorrains_, No. 14 (_Rom._ No. 19, p. 333); De Gub., _Zool.
