VIII. Compare Cundall, FL 15:91, where the “Rolling Calf,” afraid of

the moon, tumbles over into the stream and sprains his foot. He says,

“A don’t mind the wet, a wet, but the ’prain a ’prain me foot’.”

X. In Tremearne, FL 22:222–223, Lizard and Mouse both court a woman.

Mouse tells her that Lizard is blind, can’t see at night; Cock tells

her that Rat is a thief, can’t be seen in the market.

In Koelle, 174–177, Toad and Rat have a wager to see if one can do what

the other cannot. Toad passes a crowd with a whole skin; Rat is pursued

with sticks and stones.
