Ananse's Apple Tree Trial: How the Fire's Justice Left the Spider Naked"

Ananse, Tacoomah, and Lion had an apple tree,

and Ananse ate all the apples.

"Who ate the apples?" roared Lion.

"We'll let the fire decide."

So they each had to jump over the fire.

Lion sang his Lion-song and jumped over the fire.

"Fire proved me innocent!"

Next, Tacoomah sang his Tacoomah-song and jumped.

"Fire proved me innocent!"

Next, Ananse sang his Ananse-song and jumped.

He fell in the fire, and the fire burned his shirt.

"I'll try again!"

The fire burned Ananse's underpants.

Now Ananse was naked!

Ananse ran up the tree to hide,

and he's hiding there still.
