Summary: Cuentos de Joanex Iriarte de Orbara: el zorro Cuentos de Joanex Iriarte de Orbara: el zorro Tales from Joanex Iriarte de Orbara: the fox. One they caught a live fox who had been eating the chickens from the village houses. As they did not know how to punish it they called Joanex because he was a know-all. Joanex proposed putting straw in a circle around the fox and setting light to it. That’s what they did down at the lower end of the village where there was a field of wheat ready to be harvested. And what did the fox do? Well, he ran into the field all alight and set the wheat on fire. There’s an example of the witlessness of Joanex.
