Ananse's Fiddle Trick: How the Spider's Music Led to Tacoomah's Demise

Someone was stealing Tacoomah's corn during the night.

Tacoomah blamed Ananse.

"You're stealing my corn!" he said.

"I'm no thief!" said Ananse.

"I'll prove it to you by staying here all night fiddling."

Then Ananse told his gang.

"When you hear me fiddling tonight, go steal the corn."

Here's the song Ananse played,

"Corn corn, harvest corn! Go along,

get corn, go along!"

Ananse sang and fiddled all night while Tacoomah danced.

Then Tacoomah went to his field.

The corn was gone!

"You can't blame me!" shouted Ananse.

"You know I'm innocent."

Tacoomah got so angry he fell down dead.
