The Suspicious Spider: How Ananse Outsmarted Tiger's Death Plot

Tiger wanted to kill Ananse.

"Tell him I'm dead,"

Tiger said to Mrs. Tiger.

"I'll lie here and wait for him."

Mrs. Tiger shouted, "Poor Tiger!

Mr. Tiger is dead!" Ananse was suspicious.

"Did you hear Tiger was sick?" he asked Dog.

Dog said no.

He asked Monkey and Goat and all the animals.

Nobody had heard Tiger was sick.

Ananse went to Tiger's house.

Mrs. Tiger sat there weeping, and

Tiger was in the bed. "Did he make the final groan?"

Ananse asked Mrs. Tiger.

"The dead make a big final groan."

Tiger groaned. T

hen Ananse ran off, laughing.
