Despite his riches, the wealthy brother envies his poor brother the lovely family that he has, and one day he attacks his brother, blinds him, and drops him down a deep hole next to a well to die.<\/p>\n<p>As the poor brother lies in the well, he overhears a convention of cats. The King of Cats instructs the others to tell what they have seen in the past year. When one of the stories reveals that the well he is lying next to can cure any illness, he rubs some of the water on his eyes and is cured. Then &#8211; in accordance with what the cats&#8217; conversation has revealed &#8211; he takes a bottle of water from the well to the palace of the king, whose daughter is very ill. When the daughter is duly cured, the king offers the poor brother his daughter&#8217;s hand, but the brother tells him that, as he has a wife already, some money would come in handy.<\/p>\n<p>When the poor man goes home, his rich brother wants to know what happened, and where he got his riches. Hearing his poor brother&#8217;s story, the rich man goes to the well the following year to eavesdrop on the cats&#8217; convention. But before they start talking, the king of the cats tells the others that, as the princess has been cured, there must have been someone listening their conversation the year before. The search the place, find the brother hiding behind the well, and tear him apart to the point where he dies shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>This story corresponds to an international tale-type, AT 613.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-scealaiocht"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1619,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439\/revisions\/1619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
