Beschrijving
Animal as Helper in the Flight (previously The Bullock-savior). (Including the previous Type 314B*.) This tale exists chiefly in two different forms:
(1) A bull (horse, moose, ox, bear, wolf, birds) helps children (another person) to escape from their pursuer (devil, witch, robbers).
(2) The devil (white wolf) wants to abduct (marry) a princess (girl). A goat puts a straw sheaf in the place of the princess, asks the real princess to climb in a cart, covers her with hay, and tells the devil whom he meets on the way that the princess is at home. The devil grabs the sheaf and takes it to hell. The goat brings the girl home. (Previously Type 314B*.)
