The old oak is the tree that went through all the stories ... even if the story was just passing through it ...

The tree is made of maple wood, meticulously worked by hand.

This set consists of:

• 1 x the old oak
  
• 1 x Fox sitting
  
• 1 x bear stand
• 3 x fish
• 1 x owl

Once, a cunning fox searches for food all night, without finding it. Smelling fish and seeing a cart pulled by oxen, he stretches out in the middle of the road, as if dead.

The peasant, thinking she is dead, picks her up from the ground and throws her over the fish in the cart, thinking of making his wife a beautiful piece of animal fur. The cart starts and the fox pushes over on the road, after which he gathers it and takes it to the den to eat.

The bear appears, asking her to give it to him. The fox advises him to go to the pond at the edge of the forest, to soften his tail, and then to shoot hard. Thus, he will also have fish.

The cold wind of that night freezes the water in the pond and catches the bear's tail. It pulls and jerks, running out of tail. Anxious that the fox deceived him, he goes to kill her in a fight. But the fox hides in the hollow of a nearby tree and makes fun of him, saying that either the fish ate his tail, or he was too greedy and wanted to catch all the fish in the pond.

In vain the bear struggles to catch it, because it still can't get it out of the hollow of the tree.
