- The Fox at Court

The Fox at Court (previously Reynard the Fox at Court). A fox is summoned before a judge because of his crimes (e.g. stealing chickens, being absent from the parliament of the animals) and is condemned to death. By means of his last request, he manages to escape [J864.2, cf. K2055].
In some variants the fox is finally killed by a man.
