Ananse and his Grandmother

Ananse killed his grandmother,

put her body in his wagon, and drove into town.

He told the barkeeper,

"Take some whiskey to my grandmother in the wagon.

Wake her if she's asleep."

The barkeeper couldn't wake her.

Then Ananse came out and shouted, "You killed her!"

The barkeeper gave Ananse a sack of gold coins to keep quiet.

"How did you get that gold?" Tiger asked Ananse.

"I killed my grandmother and drove her to town," said Ananse.

So Tiger killed his grandmother and drove to town, shouting,

"Who wants to buy my dead grandmother?"

They locked Tiger in jail!
