K0931 fox as nursemaid for bear
Notes
Harris got Gullah story from Mrs. Barclay; compared it to Kaffir story of Klakayana and leopard cubs
Baer: "While the tale occurs in Europe and India as well as Africa, the closest parallels to this version are found in Africa"
See Klipple for more details; Mofokeng looks at contrast between African and Indian versions.
Baer concludes: "Daddy Jack has retained the eastern dupe, but has followed the African version of the story."
