There are no hard and fast rules about the length of time food will keep. That will depend upon several factors including

1. the handling of the food prior to storage

2. the type of packaging used for storage

3. the actual conditions of storage (temperature, humidity, light, etc.)

Spoilage is the point at which food is considered no longer edible. The indicators of spoilage include appearance, texture, odor and flavor. The cooked sausage will have spoiled when someone decides it is inedible.

Even trying to determine when cooked sausage is not safe to eat is difficult to determine since physical factors might not be obvious and bacterial load, contamination, handling and storage are all unknowns.

The only thing available to people are guidelines and good sense. Use the cooked sausage within a few days and examine any leftovers carefully for signs of spoilage before using them. And food safety experts recommend reheating leftovers to 165°F before consuming.

What is the folktale The Sausage about?

I think you're referring to the Swedish tale of the three wishes. That tale is about gaining wisdom through making big mistakes. As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for; you might get it." In the tale, a man receives three wishes as a reward for a good deed. He goes home and tells his wife. They can't agree on how to use the wishes. One of them wishes absent-mindedly for a sausage, and it appears. That sparks a heated argument about how stupid it was to waste a wish. In anger, one of them wishes that the sausage was on the end of the other one's nose. (I'm not being specific because I've heard this story told in different ways). Poof! The wish is granted. The distressed couple tries everything, but the sausage won't come off the nose. Their only option is to use their third and final wish to wish the sausage off the nose.
