# Cossack Fairy Tales and Folk Tales, Russian Fairy Tales, sentence 33

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
It is maintained, moreover, by Slavonic scholars that there are peculiar and original elements in these stories not to be found in the folk-lore of other European peoples; such data, for instance, as the magic handkerchiefs (generally beneficial, but sometimes, as in the story of Ivan Golik, terribly baleful), the demon-expelling hemp-and-tar whips, and the magic cattle-teeming egg, so mischievous a possession to the unwary.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Slavonic scholars · **What happens:** maintain, not find, expel, teem · **To what, where:** variety, folk lore
