Die Geschichte vom Jäger, der vom Hasen überrumpelt wird und in den Brunnen fällt, spielt nicht im kindlichen Milieu. Es ist keine Geschichte über ein unartiges Kind, sondern über eine „verkehrte Welt“, ein sehr beliebtes Motiv im Volksgut. Hier wird die Autorität, der Jäger, anscheinend straflos verhöhnt und sogar besiegt, der Schwächere, der Hase triumphiert.
