Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A fox (hare, rabbit, coyote, jackal) lies in the road pretending to be dead. A fisherman throws him on his wagon which is full of fish (cheese, butter, meat, bread, money). The fox throws the fish out of the wagon [K371.1] and jumps down after them [K341.2, K341.2.1]. A wolf (bear, fox, coyote, hyena) tries to imitate this and pretends to be dead, too. The fisherman catches him and beats him [K1026]. Cf. Types 56A, 56B, and 56A *. In some variants one animal (rabbit, fox) pretends to be dead in order to distract a man who is carrying a basket of food. Another animal (fox, wolf) steals the basket. (Previously Type 1 *, cf. Type 223.) Or an animal makes a hole in the basket so that the contents fall out. (Previously Type 1**.)

Combinations: This type is usually combined with episodes of one or more other types, esp. 2, 3, 4, 8, 15, 21, 41, and 158.

Remarks:Documented 1178 in the Roman de Renart (I, 1-151, V, 61-120). A humorous episode in a cycle of animal tales. The second part of the tale is often missing from variants from northern and eastern Europe.
