Ananse's Ant-Filled Suit: How Monkey Lost His Elegance - A Classic African Tale

Ananse used to be elegant and refined.

Elegant speech. Refined manners.

All the animals respected Monkey for his sophistication.

That made Ananse jealous,

so Ananse got a fancy suit and filled it with ants.

"Hey, Monkey!" Ananse shouted.

"You know all about sophisticated fashion.

Will this suit look good on me?"

"What a fine suit!" said Monkey.

"I'll be glad to model it for you, Ananse."

Monkey put on the suit,

and he immediately started twitching and scratching,

jumping up and down, rolling on the ground.

Ants were biting Monkey all over!

And Monkey has been acting foolish ever since.
