ANANSI IN TRINIDAD

                                  ANANSI IN TRINIDAD 

Anansi, the clever spider, left a letter for his mother and father. In It He Said that he was going to go to America and he would write to them from there. he did not go to America for he crept aboard the wrong jet and was unloaded at Trinidad along with a basket of yams in which he was sleeping. The yams were taken off the jet and put on the bus to san Fernando. They were delivered to Jean Khan at St. Joseph's village. 

    Robin Or Anansi as he now called Himself made his home in the basement of Jean Khan's house and was soon causing very strange things to happen. Each night when the maid went out to collect the dry washing she would find something missing or she might find something on the drying line which didn't belong to them but belonged to Mrs. Smith next door. 

Anansi would sometimes take a handkerchief down down the hill to the market and would sell it to one of his friends for food, saying that he had just bought it. Then he would tell the policeman that Mrs. cat or Mr. rat or Miss Blackbird Had a handkerchief belonging to Jean Khan. He would watch from the top of the tree. How he would laugh when the Police came to take away Mrs. cat, Mr. rat or Miss Blackbird  and return the Hanky. 

Soon his tricks got him into great trouble with all the other animals and he had to leave San Fernando.
