The archive’s description

Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.

Ydinaihe: Veli tulee kotiin vieraaksi, syötetään ja juotetaan, sillä aikaa hevonen katoaa. Etsimään - piiat, rengit ja sisko, joka kuulee kellon kilkahduksen ja löytää hevosen. Etsimismotiivi samankaltainen kuin Sormus kadonnut -runossa, merkitty myös tähän.
