Beschrijving
Biting the Tree Root (previously Biting the Foot). A wolf (bear, dog, tiger) chases a fox (heron, turtle) and is able to seize his leg (tail). To get free the fox pretends that the wolf has only a tree root in his mouth, so the wolf lets go (and seizes a tree root). The fox runs away [K543]. Cf. Type 122L*.
