The Clever Revenge: How Ananse the Spider Tricked the Fish-Stealing Tiger - Traditional West African Story

Ananse was carrying a basket of fish when he met Tiger.

Tiger grabbed the basket and ate the fish.

Ananse was angry but said nothing.

They kept walking. Ananse saw a fruit-tree.

"Nice fruit there!" said Ananse.

"Get me some!" said Tiger.

Ananse climbed up and looked down.

"I see lice in your fur!" Tiger said,

"Groom me!" Ananse climbed down and he pulled

Tiger's fur and whiskers, and with Tiger's fur and whiskers

he tied Tiger to the tree!

Then Ananse ran off and left Tiger tied to the tree.

Tiger roared, and a hunter came and killed him.
