- A Man Teaches a Wild Animal to Play the Fiddle

A Man Teaches a Wild Animal to Play the Fiddle (previously The Man Teaches Bears to Play the Fiddle). A wild animal (bear, wolf) sees a man playing the fiddle in the forest, or a man is locked up with a dangerous animal (lion, tiger, wolf). He plays on his fiddle for the animal, who asks to learn how to play the instrument. The man says he must cut his claws and catches the animal’s paws in a cleft tree [K1111.0.1]. Similarly the man tricks other animals. After the animals get free, they try in vain to take revenge. Cf. Types 38, 168, and 1159.
