Indian Fairy Tales, II. Princess Labam., sentence 9

The thorn in the tiger's foot is especially common (Temple, _l. c._, 6, 9), and recalls the story of Androclus, which occurs in the derivates of Phædrus, and may thus be Indian in origin (see Benfey, _Panschatantra_, i. 211, and the parallels given in my _Æsop_, Ro. iii.

Who acts: thorn, story · What happens: be, recall, occur, see, give · To what, where: story, derivates, origin, Benfey, parallels
