Ananse and the Fling-a-Mile Hole: A Tale of Greed's Fatal Price

Ananse stuck his hand in a hole.

The hole said,

"I'm Fling-a-Mile!"

Then he flung Ananse one mile.

"Excellent!" said Ananse,

and he put sharp stakes where he fell.

Then Ananse led Hog to the hole.

"Put your hand in!" Ananse said.

Fling-a-Mile flung Hog;

Hog got impaled on a stake.

"I'll eat Hog later!" said Ananse,

happily. Next Goat. Then Dog.

Monkey watched what Ananse did.

Then Ananse led Monkey to the hole.

"Look!" Monkey shouted.

"There's gold in the hole!"

Greedy Ananse reached for the gold.

Fling-a-Mile flung Ananse

and he got impaled on a stake.

Monkey laughed.
