I heard this told at the Ljungby Storytelling Festival by UK storyteller TUUP, who kindly gave me permission to tell it.
This recording was made at one of my favourite gigs, the annual performance at the Brüder Grimm Märchenfestspiele in Hanau, the town of their birth.

Not surprisingly, many of the over 2000 stories at the Turkish Oral Narrative Tales archive feature the Hodja.
