Elsie Spicer Eells,
Fairy Tales from Brazil — Why the Tiger and the Stag Fear Each Other
(1917)
“ At daybreak the stag came back to work on his house. When he saw it he rubbed his eyes for he thought that he must be dreaming. The sides of the house were completed with a big door and a funny little window. "Somebody must surely be helping me," he said to himself as he began to work to put on the roof. He worked hard all day and when the sun went down, there was a roof of dried grass on the house. "I can sleep in my own house to-night," he said. He made his bed in the corner and soon was sound asleep. At night the tiger came back to work on his new house. ”
