He walked on until he smelled
sweet potatoes.
“Anansi,” called his friend
Warthog. “My pot is full of
sweet potatoes and honey!
Come and share my food with
me. Here’s a fork for you to
help me stir.”

“I’ll come back later,” said
Anansi quickly. “But let me tie
one end of this web around my
leg and one end to your pot.
When the sweet potatoes are
ready, pull on the web string,
and I’ll come.”
