Ananse's Hat-Dance Disaster: The Tale of How the Spider Lost His Hair

Ananse's mother-in-law died,

and Ananse went to the funeral dressed in his fancy funeral-clothes.

He got hungry during the funeral service,

so he snuck into the kitchen.

He smelled beans cooking!

Ananse had just scooped up some beans when the cook came in.

Uh-oh!

Embarrassed,

Ananse poured the beans into his hat to eat later,

and he put the hat on his head.

The burning beans made him dance.

"It's my hat-shaking dance of grief!"

Ananse shouted.

Ananse danced until he got away, but it was too late:

the beans burned off his hair,

and that's why Ananse is bald.
