When Konyek returns to his hamlet and denounces his cousin Parmet for leaving him for dead, their tribe's elders are inclined to believe Parmet's lies (about Konyek running away when his cattle was raided by enemy warriors) over Konyek's claims (after being severely injured by the raiders, Konyek was nursed back to health by a friendly Dorobo hunter and retrieved the stolen calf, but he got stuck in a hill during a flood). Before he can be punished, though, Konyek's elephant friends show up, his Dorobo friend on his trail.

* The trope appears in tale type ATU 425B, "Son of the Witch" (previously, "The Witch's Tasks"), a subtype of the more general type ATU 425, "The Search for the Lost Husband", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, and also in former tale type [=AaTh=] 428, "The Wolf": the heroine finds herself at the mercy of her husband's mother (a man-eating creature or sorceress), and has to perform tasks for her. One of the tasks is to visit her sister (who lives in Hell in Scandinavian variants), and get from there something (usually, a box or casket, but it may also be a comb or tamis). Advised by her husband, she treats the sorceress's sister's guardians/servants with kindness: she is to give the correct fodder for two animals, a carnivorous one and a vegetarian one. The pair varies, but usually involve a bone for a dog (or meat for a wolf) and hay/straw/grass for a horse (in other variants, a cow or a camel). When the heroine escapes from the sorceress's sister's house, the animals are ordered by their mistress to stop her, but they say that, due to heroine's kindness, they will let her go.

* This is the premise of tale type ATU 560, "The Magic Ring", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index: the hero, a poor, but kind boy, uses his savings to buy a dog, a cat and a snake from some boys torturing animals. The snake, in gratitude, explains it is the son of the king or ruler of snakes, takes the boy to its kingdom and grants him a magical gift (a wish-granting stone or ring). Later, when the object is stolen, the dog and the cat join forces to retrieve it to their master.

* A similar story tells of how King Solomon was stung by a bee once and wanted to kill it, but it asked him to spare her so she'd help him someday. King Solomon reacted the same as David. Later, when the Queen of Sheba came over to test King Solomon's famous wisdom, she asked him to pick the real flower out of three―the other two were impeccably fabricated. The King was stumped when the bee came over and sat on the real flower.
