Beschrijving
Contest of Frost and the Hare. (Including the previous Type 1097*.) Frost tries to freeze a hare (fox, sparrow) that lies under a bush. He asks the hare whether he is cold. The hare says no, and points out the snow melting under him. Frost tries harder, but the hare manages to get up and declares that he is still warm. Frost admits he has lost the contest [H1541.1]. Cf. Types 298A, 298A*.
In some variants, the hare laughs so hard at the end that he splits his lip [A2342.1]. Cf. Types 47A, 70.
