Beschrijving

The Ungrateful Snake Returned to Captivity. A man rescues a snake (wolf, bear, tiger) from a trap. In return the snake seeks to kill the rescuer [W154.2.1]. Other animals are asked if a good deed should be repayed with a bad one. The fox, as judge, asks the snake to show how it was trapped. The snake is tricked into captivity [J1172.3]. Cf. Types 331, 926A.
In some variants a man warms a cold snake. The ungrateful snake bites the man and he dies.
