Notes

There are African instances (five of six have hare as trickster) with dust, dirt, or tobacco used to blind the gaurd. There are also West Indies examples.
Baer: "This is one of the stories for which Gerber found no parallel in the Old World, but more recent collections point clearly to an African origin."
