Beschrijving
The Cow Chewing its Cud (previously The Peasant Woman Thinks the Cow Chewing her Cud is Mimicking Her). (Including the previous Type 1213*.) A farmwife (numskull) kills the cow (goat, ox) because she thinks it is mimicking her [J1835] (will not give her any chewing gum).
In some variants, an animal is killed because its lowing (bleating, or the like) is misinterpreted as laughter or mockery.
In other variants, a villager believes that the donkey listens to what he tells him, because its ear move. (Previously Type 1213*.)
