Types
Motifs K526 captor's bag filled with animals or objects while captives escape
Notes
Baer critiques type ATU0327C Devil/Witch carries hero home in a sack: "two quite different tales included under one tale type; except for the sack, the European and African tales thus grouped together have little in common."
Gerber and Harris compare the Kaffir Demane and Demazana. Klippe has six other African motifs: 3 with bees, 2 with snakes, 1 with scorpions. In a Ba-Ila tale, Lion carries off Hare's mother and Hare rescues her with bees that kill the entire Lion family
