Bhaïh 8. The plandōʾ, the frog, the iguana, the carrion, the dog, the tiger, the two buffaloes, the two tigers, the elephant and the human beings.

Bhaïh 9. The plandōʾ, the smith, the sikin (Achehnese long knife or sword), the fisherman and the eel (leujeu).

Bhaïh 10. Lawsuit between the rich and the poor as to the price of the savours of the former's kitchen, in which suit the plandōʾ gives judgment. This tale is one of those spoken of on p. 159 above, which do not-really belong to the mouse-deer series.

Bhaïh 11. The cultivator who goes a-fishing. The imprisoned snake, the plandōʾ, the whale, the cocoanut monkeys and their king. Part similar to Jav.

Bhaïh 12. The téʾ-téʾ birds (Batavia: kějit), Sulòyman (Solomon), the plandōʾ, the herd of oxen and the black bull.

Bhaïh 13. The plandōʾ, the dogs, and the bakòh-bird.

Bhaïh 19. Alliance of all the beasts under the tiger as king and the plandōʾ as his deputy. The tiger deceived by the plandōʾ. This resembles in its main features the story we have numbered 7 in the Kisah Hiweuën or Nasruan adé (LIV).

Bhaïh 20. The elephant in the well (quite different from its namesake in Jav.); he is afterwards devoured by crocodiles in the river.

Bhaïh 21. All the animals fish with seines under direction of the plandōʾ, the himbèës (a kind of ape) serve as sentries.

Bhaïh 23. All the beasts converted to Islam by the plandōʾ, gathered together in the mosque and cheated by him.
