M0813 = Perry174. Source: Irenaeus 70. This is Perry 174. Compare the modern fable by the satirist Ambrose Bierce (from Fantastic Fables, 1899): “A weary Traveler who had lain down and fallen asleep on the brink of a deep well was discovered by Dame Fortune. ‘If this fool,’ she said, ‘should have an uneasy dream and roll into the well, men would say that I did it. It is painful for me to be unjustly accused, and I shall see that I am not.’ So saying, she rolled the man into the well.”
