Frightened of a fierce, huge boar, a herdsman escapes up a fruit-tree. He throws down fruit which the boar eats until it is full, and unable to pursue the herdsman, nor defend itself when he descends and kills it. In some versions (e.g., Mischle Sendebar), the boar eats until it bursts; in other versions, it is a monkey who tricks the boar. | Frightened of a fierce, huge boar, a herdsman escapes up a fruit-tree.
