The Thief and the Tiger [J1758ff., J1769.3, J2132.4, N392, N691.1ff.]. (a) A tiger overhears a person saying that he fears the dripping (of rain), or some other unusual term, worse than he does a tiger. (b) A tiger has come to a sheepfold to steal a sheep and overhears the farmer warning the guard to watch out for tigers and "botiyas" (or some other word, often an "echo word"). (c) The tiger hides among the sheep (goats, etc.). A thief comes, thinks the tiger is a big sheep, and carries it off. (d) Tiger hides elsewhere. A man (who is blind or drunk) thinks the tiger is his horse or ass, and rides it off. (e) The tiger, believing the term he has overheard refers to a mighty animal or ogre, thinks the man is the mighty one and meekly submits to various indignities. (f) The man flees when dawn comes, or ties his "horse" to a post and discovers next morning he was riding a tiger. (g) The tale involves a demon rather than a tiger. Cf. Type 1692.
