A Molbo story is a Danish folktale about the people of Mols, who live in eastern Jutland near the town of Ebeltoft.〔(''Old stories from Mols'', illustrated by Axel Mathiesen, (Ebeltoft, Denmark: Kaj Elle,1952) )〕 In these tales the Molboes are portrayed as a simple folk, who act foolishly while attempting to be wise.〔(''Those foolish Molboes'', by Lillian Bason and Margot Tomes, (New York: Coward, McCann and Geoghegan, 1977) )〕
==History==
''Molbohistorier'' (Molbo stories) were handed down by generations of Danes before finally appearing in print. Christian Elovius Mangor,〔(Christian Elovius Mangor ) ''runeberg.org''. Retrieved: May 25, 2014.〕 who by permission of the Danish monarch Christian VII had started a printing press in Viborg, published the first collection, ''Tales of the well-known Molboes’ wise and brave actions'', in 1771.〔(C. E. Mangor ) ''denstoredanske.dk''. Retrieved: October 12, 2014.〕 A second edition followed in 1780.〔(''Beretning om de vidtbekiendte Molboers vise Gierninger og tapre Bedrifter'', 2. Opl., forøget og forbedret, (Viborg, Danmark, 1780) ) 〕 Over the years Molbo stories have been published in books for adults and children in several languages, including Danish,〔(''Molbo- og Aggerbohistorier samt andre dermed beslægtede Fortællinger / 2. Samling'' by Evald Tang Kristensen, (Århus, Denmark: Forfatterens Forlag, 1903) )〕 Norwegian 〔(''Molbohistorier, gamle og nye'', by Oskar Braaten, (Oslo: Aschehoug, 1941) )〕 and English.〔(''Old stories from Denmark'', illustrated by Poul Lundsgaard, (Ebeltoft, Denmark: Kaj Elle,1967) )〕 Similar narratives are found in other cultures. England, for instance, has "Lazy Jack" 〔(Lazy Jack ) ''authorama.com''. Retrieved: May 25, 2014.〕 and "The Wise Men Of Gotham." 〔(The Wise Fools Of Gotham ) ''sacred-texts.com.com''.

In 1898 the operetta ''"Molboerne"'' (The People Of Mols) by composer Olfert Jespersen and lyricist Herman Petersen premiered in Copenhagen. The work not only had a memorable score but numerous references to such Molbo stories as “The Stork In The Corn” and “Leg-Sorting”.〔(Molboerne (eventyrspil) )] ''mono.net''. Retrieved: May 25, 2014.〕
Norway, which for nearly three centuries was part of the kingdom of Denmark-Norway, received many cultural influences from Denmark. Consequently, Molbo stories are known in both Denmark and Norway, and the word “Molbo” is used in both countries as a term of disparagement. The expression "Molbo politics" is prohibited when speaking from the rostrum in Norway's parliament.〔(Molbopolitikk ) ''Oslo Dagbladet'' 28. februar 2014〕
