Anansi and the Five Doubloons

There was a woman with three daughters, and she allowed nobody to come into the house.
"I can get into that house!' shouted Anansi.
"You cannot!" everybody said.
"Want to be?"
They bet five golden doubloons.
Then Anansi went to the house and he sang and danced at the door, playing his fiddle. The daughters came to listen to the music. He sang and danced and fiddled, and the daughters begged their mother to let him come in.
So they let him in, had a big feast, and they danced all night long.
Anansi also won the five golden doubloons!
