The Forgotten Bride

According to Stith Thompson, after escaping from the villain's lair in a Magic Flight, the hero's female helper warns him against doing a certain action at home (e.g., being kissed by his mother or licked by his dog), lest he forgets his adventures.

[3] In some variants of tale type ATU 313, "The Magical Flight", the story continues with a sequence called "The Forgotten Fiancée", with motif "Kiss of Oblivion".

[5][6] The Forgotten Fiancée "often includes" the incident known as "Sale of Bed": the heroine purchases from the hero's false bride the right to spend three nights with him.

[10] The East Slavic Folktale Classification (Russian: СУС, romanized: SUS) classifies it as «Забытая невеста».

[12] Sigrid Schmidt wrote that some Namibian peoples immigrated to the country from South Africa, where they lived in contact with Boers and most probably picked a substantial amount of tales from them.
