The Fox as Umpire to Divide Cheese. Two animals fight over some prey (cheese, meat) and ask a fox (monkey, cat) to judge the case. He eats it himself (cat eats the two animals [K815.7]) [K452]. Cf. Type 926D.
In some variants the fox takes bites from the pieces of food to make both parts the same. In the end he eats them both.
