- The Bean (Mouse), the Straw, and the Coal.

The Bean (Mouse), the Straw, and the Coal. (Including the previous Type 2034A.) A piece of coal and a straw escape from the fire in a stove. A bean escapes from a pot on top of the fire. They go on a journey. When they have to cross a river, the straw serves as a bridge. The coal burns the straw in two and both fall into the water and drown. The bean laughs at them until it bursts. Someone sews the bean together, and that is why beans have a black stripe [F1025.1, A2741.1, A2793.1, Z41.4.1]. Cf. Types 130, 210.
