A fox played dead by the side of the road, and a man with a load of fish picked him up, praising his luck for the beautiful pelt. But the clever fox stole the fish and escaped. (Ashliman) The bear was persuaded to fish with his tail through a hole in the ice and got it frozen fast. He tried to get free, and lost his tail (cf. Hodne). The king of beasts lay ill. The fox delayed paying him a visit, but the wolf went to pay his respect to this king. As a result of beastly intrigues, the lion had the wolf killed and flayed. D. Novelle — — and the abbot E.
