Ananse's Jumbee House Betrayal: How the Spider's Greed Led to Tacoomah's Doom

Ananse found a jumbee house.

He heard the jumbees say "Jollup-Jellup!" to open the door

and "Jug-Up-Shollop" to come back out.

Ananse waited till the jumbees left.

Then he said, "Jollup-Jellup!"

Ananse went inside.

The house was full of food.

Ananse ate the food,

and then he said "Jug-Up-Shollop!" to get back out.

"You look fat, Ananse!" said Tacoomah.

"I've been eating jumbee food," Ananse said.

"I want jumbee food too!" Tacoomah said.

Ananse taught him "Jollup-Jellup" but not "Jug-Up-Shollop."

Tacoomah was trapped when the jumbees came back,

and the angry jumbees turned Tacoomah to ashes.

Beware the jumbee house!
