As time went by, Anansi began to
think more and more about how
Turtle had promised to feed him a
free dinner. So one day he walked
over to Turtle’s house.
Anansi got to Turtle’s house just
about dinnertime, as the sun was
going down over the river. Turtle
was lying on a rock in the sun,
warming himself up, as turtles do.
When Turtle saw Anansi, he said,
βHello there, Anansi, have you come
to have dinner with me?β
And Anansi said, βYes, that would
be very nice, thank you.β He was
getting hungrier and hungrier.
