Types ATU1119 the ogre kills his own children
Motifs
K0869* deceptive game: hauling and tying in bags; parent destroys own child
Notes
Chatelain has Angolan story with leopard and goat who play a fatal game; Klipple has story where leopard gets gazelle's children in a sack and gazelle swaps leopard children; leopard then trades sack for drum
see also Madagascar: Trimobe and Sohitika; T. sews S. in sack; T's children let S. out and he puts them in; they cry themselves to sleep and then T. eats them
Baer thinks Klipple's use of this type is forced, so she proposes something new
Baer: "This tale is probably of African origin."
