The archive’s description
Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.
Ydinaihe: Päivää pyydetään paistamaan paimenille, ei kalanpyytäjille, kalamiehille (III: älä paista metsämiehille), koska kalamies saa kaloja, paimen sen sijaan kuivaa leipää syödäkseen. XIII: voi jatkua esim.: paimen parka, nuttu märkä, tai: paimen säärysjalka, rättijalka (ks. myös Paimen parka, säärysjalka).
