    Wonder if there were more than two as these are not quite a pair.

    I was just refreshing my research and although I still could not find identical or similar pieces I learnt that another Aesop fable is “The stag/deer/buck and the vines” where a stag, pursued by the huntsmen, concealed himself under cover of a thick vine.
    So maybe these are indeed based on Aesop’s fables.
