Ananse's Fatal Greed: The Tale of How the Spider Was Tricked By His Own Son

Hyena was supposed to throw Cunning-More-Than-Father in the sea,

but Cunning-More-Than-Father came back home,

and he brought a flock of sheep with him.

"But I threw him in the sea!" Hyena shouted.

"Yes, you did!" said Cunning-More-Than-Father.

"These are sea-sheep, and where the sea is deeper,

the sheep are even bigger."

"I want the big sheep!" shouted Ananse.

"Hyena, put me in a coffin and throw me in the deepest sea."

Ananse got in the coffin and

Hyena rented a boat to sail to the deepest sea.

He threw the coffin in the water.

That was the end of Ananse.
