"Little Otik" (Czech: Otesánek) is a Czech Fairy Tale written by Karel JaromÃr Erben in the 19th century. It has been collected and translated by John Theophilus Naake and included in his Slavonic Fairy Tales: Collected and Translated from The Russian, Polish, Servian, and Bohemian book under the title "The Long-Desired Child".One couple of poor farmers have been wishing for children for years, but unfortunately to no avail. One day, the husband finds a strange, baby-looking log and brings it to home. To his and his wife's delight, the wooden baby -whom they call Otik- comes to life and asks to be fed.However, Otik keeps demanding food -and growing- nonstop. After eating all of the food that there was in the hut, Otik swallows its parents whole. Then, Otik leaves its home and devours every person and animal it finds until it runs into an elderly farmer. The old woman rips its belly open with a hoe when Otik tries to eat her, and all its victims emerge out of its bulging stomach.The old couple are happy to be alive, but they never again wish for a child.John Naake's translation can be read in this link. It can be read in the original language here and here. You can read an audiobook here.The story has been adapted to film. | |
