Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew and a branch of the tree broke A and fell on the tiny creature’s back. Poor little mouse! He was terrified. The little thing somehow got up and ran off. As he was running, a rabbit got into his way. The mouse ignored the furry white animal and continued to run. The rabbit was surprised to see the mouse running on his own and hailed him. ‘hey!ey! Why on earth areBOOKS you running?’ ‘You can’t imagine the horror!’ panted the mouse, still running madly. ‘I was asleep underneath a tree and ¼ and ¼ a branch suddenly broke and fell on my head! That’s why i’m running.’ DC The rabbit gasped in horror and joined the mouse. The two animals were running furiously when they came across a polecat. ‘Hey stop!’ the polecat cried out, as the duo rushed past him. ‘Where are the two of you going? Why are you running?’ ‘it’s a horrifying story,’ cried the rabbit. ‘This mouse was sleeping under a tree. All of a sudden, there was a terrible wind and the whole tree uprooted and crashed down. And ¼ and all the animals under it died.’ The polecat was so overcome with horror that he joined the two animals. 990 DC BOOKS.

  • The Fox in World Literature Reflections on a “Fictional Animal”
    Hans-Jörg Uther Enzyklopädie des Märchens Göttingen, Germany The Fox in World Literature Reflections on a “Fictional Animal” Abstract The article discusses the role of the fox in international folktales, both written and oral. The animal is taken to be the incarnation of cunning, slyness, perfidy, and even wickedness. However, more positive qualities and faculties, such as an ingenious mind, a readiness to care for and help others, quickness, and circumspection are also recognized. This is a sign of the ambivalence considered to be characteristic for all animals. The content and motifs in European or European-influenced fox narratives are most often predicated by descriptions that go back to antiquity. Some Asian fox narratives, too, can be traced far back, but they diverge markedly from the European ones. While the role of the fox in fables and animal tales in particular is subjected to extreme fluctuations in its valence, the same can hardly be said for magic tales. Here, the fox is mostly encountered in the role of a grateful (helpful) animal. Keywords: ambivalence—corn demon—animal demon—fox—fox spirits—grateful animal—helpful animal—animal tales Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 65, 2006: 133–160 he fox (vulpes vulpes), which includes the red fox, the cross fox, and the arctic fox, among others, lives all over Europe, West and East Asia, and in many parts of North America (Zimen 1980, 2; Burrows and Matzen T1972).* Hardly any other mammals living in the wild enjoy as much popularity as the fox—both male and female (vixen) alike—in the traditions since antiqui- ty (see Uther 2003, 2004, and 2006 for numerous textual examples).
