Anansi, Tacoomah, and the Cow

Anansi had magic words to open a cow and go inside. He took lots of meat from inside the cow, but left the liver.
Tacoomah wanted meat too. "Tell me how to get the meat, Anansi!"
Anansi told him, and then Tacoomah went inside the cow. He was greedy and cut out the liver too. The cow fell down dead, and Tacoomah was still inside.
The farmer saw the dead cow, and he saw a bulge in the belly. He cut the cow open, and there was Tacoomah.
The farmer beat him, and took the meat that Tacoomah cut out.
