Hungarian Folk Tales: The Diligent Girl and the Lazy Girl (S03E11)

[@grg537]

Dog-pearl meaning: in the old times people wear pearls as protective jewelry against harmful spells and to eliminate poison. Dogs brings protection too by checking the house, the sheep herd and predicts danger. Both symbolize protection. In this tale the magical dog give protective pearls to the diligent girl as a reward.

Very few people know that Hungarian folk tales are very spiritual and the stories are related to the zodiac cycle. They have a very serious philosophical message. These stories are not just fairy tales for children!

[@kenya1067]

Oh wow! I didn't notice that. Thank you for pointing it out. Great observation.

[@benyovszkyistvan408]

Books have been published on the subject, and numerous presentations on the KZbin channel deal with them. Gábor Pap and Lajos Szántai are the most important speakers. Hungarian ethnography is the richest in the world! Folk music, folk art, folk dance, folk tale... The zodiac theme is not unknown in Hungarian painting and literature either. Many poems and dramatic works were edited with this system.

Pretty interesting folktale. In the Netherlands where I life. They also have a similar folktale of a girl who fell in a well and landed in a magic world. Where she helped the creatures and objects who asked her for help and received good deeds in return. And found a home of a magic old lady where she helped the old lady do her work. And received a golden dress, accessoires and was send home,but when her stepsister fell in the well (purposely) and landed in the magic world. She did nothing what was asked from her. So she received no good deeds, was covered in dirt and was send home.

What a coincidence we have an assignment with the same story but we have to create the rest of the story with our own imagination

[@zp5808]

This story is is about life choices. Choosing delayed gratification, humbleness, hard working mentality, living outside the comfort zone, and being sensitive to our surroundings thus having a high emotional intelligence in order to have a happy and prosperous life. On the other hand you can have a narcissistic mother and have seeds of her personality planted inside you so you just go totally the opposite way when you are given the chance by life to help others, work hard, stay humble (if you did not work you ought not feast), respect boundaries (7th room), earn things instead of just feeling entitled and want things because you feel you deserve them. This tale is a lot of self-help books in one story. The truth is many Hungarians life the life of the second girls and of her moms. I salute all the hard working, honest, sensitive, and great Hungarians who are like the first girl.

This reminds me of the german tale "Frau Holle" (Miss Holle) It's about the same story, but The diligent girl sat on the edge of a well and had to weave so much, that her fingers were bloody. so she bent down to the water of the well, but the spool fell into the well and the girl had to dive after it and jumped into the well, but she lost consiousness. she then woke up on a field of flowers, with an oven nearby. there was bread in the oven and it shouted to take it out or it would burn, and the girl did as she was told. she then came across a tree and it pleaded to get shaken so its heavy apples could fall down, and the girl did so. she then came to a house with a woman looking out of it, and she told the girl that she was "Frau Holle" and wanted the girl to be her maid, and always shake her pillows good, so it would snow in the real world. the girl then worked for her, but after some time she wanted to go back since she missed her family, and Frau Holle lead her to a gate. and as the girl walked through the gate, gold rained down on her and stuck on her. Frau Holle gave her the spool back and sent her home. and then there was the thing with the rooster, and then the girl told her story and the lazy girl was sent to do the same. but the lazy girl didn't help anyone, and didn't shake the pillows right, and when she headed home, not gold but "Pech" (couldn't find the word in english but it's some black goo) and no matter how hard the lazy girl tried, she couldn't get rid of it.

Moral: Old fathers who instil work ethics are better than complaining old mothers who demand that reality bends to their whim. Reverse it however you like, but the parenting plays a huge role in how the kids turn out.

Undomaranel They were both children when the father and mother at the start married. They would have been raised the same. The moral is that hard work is rewarded. You can try to twist it into some weird women-hating shit all you want, but that's the very obvious moral here.

[@ShiftyMcGoggles]

and who taught the girl that? Certainly not the mother.

[@Undomaranel]

What I meant by reverse it is this: Old *mothers* who instill work ethics are better than complaining old *fathers* who demand that reality bends to their whim. I did not intend this comment to be sexist, but instead to comment on how much parenting plays a role. If a parent is honorable, virtuous, etc they will pass that on to their child. If a parent is vile, self centered, and vain, so too will be the child. Male/ Female doesn't matter in this regard, either toward parent or child. If the tree is rotten, so too will be the fruit. Fortunately people aren't fruit and can change. But parents set up their children for success or failure by their own attitudes.

[@RikkuTakanashi]

Personality also plays a role, as well. Several of these folk tales have both parents out right turn on their own children showing them to have terrible morality whereas their children had better morality. There's also ones with multiple siblings where only one out of the three is good yet they've all been taught the same. It doesn't matter how your taught if you don't take those lessons to heart; be them good or bad lessons.

[@saroltaeleonoramolnar399]

Because during that time, when these folk tales were created, many women died during childbirth. So men remarried, bringing his children into the new marriage. This created a great deal of conflict within the family and this is represented by the character of the evil step mother.

[@saroltaeleonoramolnar399]

@mary sunshine It is hard to understand the motivations of those people because our lives are completely different. But first of all : women had limited opportunities. Being a widow and raising children was almost an impossible task to do. If they were peasants then the land and everything was owned by the landlord. If she couldn't pay the taxes they could easily get into trouble. So the easiest way was to remarry and to rely on the new husband. If they owned their own land, the law is way complicated. There was a time when women could not own any land so after the husband 's death everything went to the closest male heir. I don't know for a sure that is was the same in every country but in Hungary, if there was no male heir, the king got the land. So the widow was again, alone. Without anything. There was also a little chance for her to keep the land: if she was (this is strange) according to the law, a boy. There was a procedure for it, to consider a female as a male, and give her male rights. After that, she could inherit the land. And again, I only know about the Hungarian system. For a widowed husband, the causes of remarriage can be that someone had to look after the children, or he wanted to be sure that he has more children. Death was an everyday thing, no one was sure about how long they will live, especially when they were young. So people stayed together, just because the way of the law made them. They had no other choice. The main reason is: they wanted to be sure that someone will follow them, and their children will inherit the family properties.

[@saroltaeleonoramolnar399]
