Regardless of the grandmother, the same fairy-tale motive is found in many peoples. Read in Wikipedia "Stories of a folklore tale". For example, "The Pumpkin" has analogues in the fairy tales of many other peoples: American "Pumpkin Man", English "Johnny Pumpkin". The plot is also found in Scandinavian, German, Uzbek, Tatar and other fairy tales. According to the plot classifier of Arne-Thompson, the fairy tale belongs to the type of 2025 - "the escaped fool". The reason for the story is to observe the falling moon. In all variants from "bread" bite a little.

Read a story. Who has bitten us a little bit? He ran away, ran away from everybody, and then he was suddenly eaten into a rough red haru. It looks like a falling moon, just one in one.
