StAbA-1:
Two well-to-do friends enjoy each other’s company. Then both marry and two sons are born; the two boys grow up together and later attend school together to learn to sing and to read. They finish school well enough and leave for studying at Paris University endowed with money and everything necessary fitting for young gentlemen. They visit Arras and are welcomed by a lady and her beautiful daughter. One of them falls in love at first sight when seeing a beautiful girl so that he is not able to travel further. They seek accommodation in the beauty’s house. The mother suggests that the already love-sick scholar is to teach her daughter to read.

StAbA-300:
After a rich meal the host is drunk; the two are brought to the family bedroom. During the night the lovesick prowls to the girl’s bed and is rejected at first and then taken to be “warmed”. His companion takes the cradle to his bed when the mother stands up during the night. So the wife comes to his bed without knowing and he enjoys her love. At dawn the lover returns from the daughter’s bed to his own sleeping-place. When he finds the cradle he thinks he is mistaken and lies down at the husband’s bed, to which he tells the story thinking it was his companion. The angry host starts a fight and the young man escapes to his bed and the wife who discovers her error without regret. She mollifies the husband by saying it had been a demonical phantom.
