There are even fairy tales about salt. The one where the king said that "salt" is useless always impressed me. The man who offered it in exchange for the king's daughter was sent away.
He started working in the King's kitchen, and as the King held a big party, he left the salt out o the food. The King of course,e was angry and asked for the cook.... You can guess how the story ended.

What I never understood is (considering this fairy tale) why Zwarte Piet, the helper of St Nicholas give salt to children who misbehave. If salt is precious, it doesn't make sense or did he pour the salt into wounds?
