Anansi, Tacooma, and Trouble

Tacooma said, "I've never seen Trouble. What is it?"
"I'll show you!" said Anansi. He took Tacooma to Lion's house.
"Grab that cub!" Anansi said.
Lion arrived and saw Tacooma holding the cub. 
"Run!" yelled Anansi. "Jump in that hole!"
"You'll need rope to get him out," Anansi said to Lion.
Lion went to get a rope. 
"Tacooma, you'll have to grab the rope and tie Lion's front paws."
Lion came back, lowered the rope, and Tacooma tied the front paws; Anansi tied the back paws. Lion thrashed and roared!
"I don't ever want to see Trouble again!" said Tacooma.
