Feigned suggestion to help the ogre

Description:

Person escapes to a tree or high rock. An ogre tries to cut it down. Some person or animal suggests the ogre to have a rest, promises to work instead of him but spoils his work or (in Subarctic) kills him when the ogre gives him his axe. (Africa versions have Eurasian origins)

Name_rus:

Мнимая помощь людоеду

Description_rus:

Демон, людоед рубит дерево или скалу, на вершину которой забрался герой. Другой персонаж предлагает людоеду отдохнуть и берется рубить вместо него, но лишь портит его работу либо (у атапасков) убивает его как только людоед отдает ему свой топор. (Африканские варианты явно заимствованы из Евразии)
