"Let's go have some fun!" Dog said to Anansi.
"Okay!' said Anansi
They saw a woman frying fish. Dog stole the fish. The woman saw the fish was gone and threw a rock at them; it hit Anansi, not Dog.
Next they saw a woman cooking corn. Dog stole the corn. The woman saw the corn was gone and got a shotgun; she shot Anansi, not Dog.
Next they saw a woman boiling ham. Dog stole the ham. The woman saw the ham was gone and threw the boiling water; it hit Anansi on the head and he's bald now!
