Summary
The Ichneumon ... proceeds to comment upon some other doings of the Mantis, who – wanting to roast the little 'Löffelhund' (Proteles) – is himself roasted by its incensed mother; and, escaping, dips his singed wings into the water, and comes forth a renovated Mantis (L II.-9. 997-1002, 10. 1003-1051). |kaggen (the Mantis) becomes a Lion after burning in the fire.
