Beschrijving
The Mouse Regains its Tail. A hunting cat bites off a mouse’s tail. Or, a woman cuts the tail off (belly open) of a mouse (cat, rat) because it stole her milk. The mouse wants to get its tail back.
The mouse asks the cat for its tail (the cobbler to sew its belly), but is told it must do something (e.g. bring milk from the goat or cow). The goat wants the mouse to give it grass, the meadow wants water, the well wants eggs, the chicken wants corn, etc. Finally someone complies and all the rest get what they want. Or, the mouse is eaten [Z41.4].
