Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: A man in anger calls his horse "bear-food". A bear comes and threatens to eat the horse [C25]. A fox agrees to help the man against the bear in return for geese. The fox goes into the forest and imitates the barking of dogs. The bear is intimidated and killed. The man pretends to go for the geese but instead brings dogs back in his bag [K235]. The dogs chase the fox to his hole. Here the fox asks his feet, eyes, ears, and tail how they helped him in his flight. His tail admits that it did not help. As a punishment the fox sticks out his tail and is attacked by dogs [J2351.1]. In some variants a hare asks his members about their help in his flight [U242.1]. (Previously Type 160B*.)
