African Folktale: The Hunter Becomes the Hunted | West African Trickster Tales

Leopard and Ananse hunted Mr. Man's pigs.

Every time Leopard shot, Ananse shot too.

Leopard hit the pigs.

Ananse didn't hit anything, but he still claimed half the meat.

This made Leopard mad, so he played a trick. "I hear Mr. Man coming!" Leopard shouted.

They both hid.

CRACK! Leopard made a whip-sound. CRACK! Leopard made the sound again.

"Who shot my pigs?" said Leopard in Mr. Man's voice.

"Leopard shot the pigs!" Ananse shouted.

CRACK!

"Not me, Mister Man! I can't shoot! Leopard shot those pigs."

Leopard laughed at Ananse and took all the meat home.

Ananse got nothing.
