It should be pointed out that the Norwegian article
differs in some aspects from how I remember Bausani's
account.  I have forever misplaced the copy of the
German translation I had access to, but if someone
fluent in Italian is interested I do have a photocopy
of the Italian version somewhere.  I could try to dig
it up, scan it and send it.

    "Maybe" is a strange word.  When mum or dad says it
    it means "yes", but when my big brothers say it it
    means "no"!
