🌿 Meet the Irresistibly Irritable Witch
Long ago, there lived an old woman who had the power to turn people into frogs, fly on a broomstick, and brew magical potions. She was a witch, but not the evil kind—just a bit cranky about her unusual name: 5! 🧙♀️ Her irritable nature leads her to cast a peculiar spell: anyone who mentions the number five would fall into a deep sleep! 😴
🕷️ Anansi’s Clever Scheme
Enter Anansi, the clever little spider who was always looking for an easy meal. When he hears about the witch's spell, he sees an opportunity! By planting yam hills and tricking animals into counting them, Anansi hopes to gather a feast. He tricks the Dog, Bull, Lion, and other animals, making them all fall asleep with just one word: five! 🍠🌾
🐔 The Chicken Outsmarts the Spider
Anansi’s trick seems foolproof until he meets a wise Chicken! As she counts, she cleverly twists Anansi’s own words against him. Instead of falling for his trap, she declares, “There’s no such number as ‘the one I’m standing on!’” This catch leads to Anansi’s own slumber! 😮🐥
