A woodcutter complained of his poor lot. Jupiter (or alternatively, a tree spirit or fairy) granted him threewishes. The woodcutter went home, and his wife persuaded him to put off the wishing until the next day, after he had thought, but while sitting by the fire, he wished for sausages. His wife taxed him for his folly, and angry, he wished for the sausages to attach to her nose. Finally, they agreed to use the last wish to take the sausages off her nose, leaving them no better off than before (apart from having gained the sausages).
In some different types of versions of this tale, black pudding is used instead of sausages. And also in some versions, it's the woodcutter himself that gets the sausage stuck on his nose.
