But death is averted thanks to the ability of the frost-bringer, who straightens his hat. The king, baffled that the men survived, bribes the soldier into renouncing marriage to his daughter. The soldier asks for as much gold as his servant can carry, and the strong man carries all the king's wealth in a huge bag, and they leave. The king angrily sends soldiers on horseback after them, but the man with the powerful breath power blows all the soldiers away. One sergeant is spared alive and sent back to tell the king what happened. Upon hearing the events the monarch decides to leave the soldier and his servants alone to live rich and happy for the rest of their lives. The tale is classed as folktale type 513 A "Six Go through the Whole World" under the Aarne-Thompson classification system. To this type also belongs "The Six Servants" (KHM 134). The story is very similar to other European folk tales and fairy tales about a man with very talented servants, such as "The Six Servants", "Long, Broad and Sharpsight", "The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship", "How the Hermit Helped to Win the King's Daughter", "The Clever Little Tailor". Gottfried August Bürger interpolated an adaptation of the tale into his version of the Baron Munchausen stories.
