One fine afternoon Anansi the Spider was walking by the river when he saw his friend Turtle coming toward him carrying a large fish Anansi loved to eat fish though he was much too lazy to catch them himself Where did you get that fish he asked Turtle
I caught it today when I went fishing Turtle replied I want to learn to catch fish too Anansi said Will you teach me Certainly said Turtle Meet me by the river tomorrow We will go fishing together Two can do twice the work of one
But Anansi did not intend to do any work at all Turtle is slow and stupid he said to himself I will trick him into doing all the work Then I will take the fish for myself But Turtle was not as stupid as anansi anansi thought
