Ananse's Deceptive Christening Oven in Monkey-Country: A Sinister African Tale

Ananse went to Monkey-Country.

"I'm here to christen you," he said,

"and this is my christening oven.

I'll show you!"

Ananse lit the fire.

"I'll get in, you close the door, and

when I shout "Christened!"

you let me out."

Ananse got in,

and the Monkeys shut the oven door.

Then Ananse shouted "Christened!"

and they let him out.

"Now you!" he said to the Monkeys.

The Monkeys got in,

and Ananse shut the oven door.

"Christened!" they yelled.

"Not christened yet!" said Ananse.

"CHRISTENED!" they yelled.

"Not christened yet!" said Ananse.

Then Ananse ate up all the roasted Monkeys.
