The versions vary not only in the actual story, but also in the dialect in which they are recounted, all of which are members of the North-Eastel11 Neo-Aramaic family (henceforth NENA). It is hoped that the comparison of different versions of one story will give some idea of the variation that oral folktales undergo, and will also facilitate a comparison of the narrative devices used in different dialects. All versions come from Christian communities l in the NENA area. The first two versions are told respectively in the dialects of the villages of Alqosh Caiqu§) and Telkepe (tJlkepJ)2 situated in the Mosul Plain in northern Iraq. The third version is told in the dialect of Hamziye (hamziye, also known as hamzik), a village in the ,,?apna region further north. These versions were recorded by the author during face-to-face interviews with the narrators. The fourth version was recorded in a telephone interview with a lady who was born in the small village of Tazakand (taziikand) south of Urmia in Iran. Her dialect is related to, but distinct from, standard Christian Urmia. The story is a children's story. According to the Hamziye speakcr, the story is told to children at bedtime to help them sleep. The origins of the story are not known to the author, nor how it travelled from village to village. The four stories are clearly versions of the same story, but show significant variation. It should be kept in mind that the stories are as recounted on a particular occasion. Unlike written literature, these oral stories have not been fixed in a particular f01111. Within the same village they might be told differently. They would probably be told somewhat differently by the same person on another occasion or if given more time for preparation. 3 The stories were not told spontaneously or in the n0l111al context, but in response to a request from the author and with the author as audience.
