The Magic Stone Escape: How Ananse the Spider Saved Goat from Tiger - West African Folk Story

Tiger, Ananse, and Goat shared a house together,

but Tiger wanted the whole house for himself.

"I'm hungry!" Tiger roared.

"I'm going to eat you both!"

Then Ananse and Goat ran away, and Tiger chased them.

They got to the river.

"I can't swim!" cried Goat.

Ananse turned Goat into a small white stone,

and then Ananse jumped across the river.

Tiger arrived.

"I bet you can't hit me with that stone!"

Ananse shouted at Tiger.

Tiger threw the stone. When it hit the ground on the other side,

the stone turned back into Goat. Ananse and Goat were safe!
