C090. Baer (p. 101). Brother Rabbit Ties Mr. Lion

This is Chase090.

Types ATU0078A Animal allows himself to be tied so as to avoid being carried off by storm
Motifs
K0713.1 Animal allows himself to be tied so as to avoid being carried off by storm
Notes
Gerber finds Hottentot and Sudanese parallels where fox or jackal ties lion; Flowers has West Indian analogues, and see Chase121 for another tying story.

Baer: "There is no question that this is an African tale."
