A short while later he saw
Monkey and his wife,
cooking some beans in a
large pot.
“Come and join us!” they
said. “The beans are nearly
ready.”
“Sorry, I have things to do,”
said Anansi before they
could ask him to help.
“But let me tie one end of
this web around my leg and
one end to your pot. When
the beans are ready, pull on
the web string, and I’ll
come.”
