- The Dog and the Sparrow.

The Dog and the Sparrow. A man inadvertently runs over a dog, the friend of a sparrow. The sparrow takes vengeance and annoys the man. He tries to kill it but, in so doing, he kills his horse or destroys his cargo. The man catches the bird and devours it alive. When the bird looks out from his backside or his mouth, his wife tries to kill it. Instead, she hurts or kills her husband [cf. F912] [N261, cf. L315.7]. Cf. Types 223, 1586, and 2042.
