A very wealthy and vain man said to the Hodja: "You can't even guess how much I am worth, can you?"
The Hodja gave him a look and said: "Sixty gold pieces."
"HA! My outfit alone is worth sixty gold pieces!"
The Hodja gave him another glance: "I know."

Just when you think you have seen everything in folklore, you come across something you'd never expected.
Like a folktale about the Virgin Mary divorcing God because he drinks too much.

Folktale motif of the day:
"B292.6.1. Thief lives alone with 20 cats that help him keep intruders away"

Digging into the "Gift of the Little People" folktale type (ATU 503), where someone joins the singing of fairies and gets rewarded for it. The human usually adds a few days to the song of "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday!", delighting the fairies.
Hungarian versions, once again, have to be extra about it.
Instead of singing fairies, we have singing skeletons. And they get angry when someone adds "Monday" to their song.
Highly relatable.
