Es Negret (English: "The Little Black Man") is a Catalan fairy tale or rondalla, first collected by Majorcan priest and author Antoni Maria Alcover from Mallorca. It is related to the cycle of the Animal as Bridegroom and distantly related to the Graeco-Roman myth of Cupid and Psyche, in that the heroine is forced to perform difficult tasks for a witch.
