Notes
Jones has an identical story; only different is tree rather than log.
Ila tale: Hare deceives Lion and burns him to death, with additional African parallels
See also Chase048 with fire and honey; the characters are turtle and buzzard.
Dundes also wants to connect Chase051 and Chase060, along with Dorson's Bear Meets Trouble.
Baer concludes: "Africa is the most probably source of this tale."
