Anansi owes Python. Python will chomp Anansi!
'Anansi is my lunch. Anansi is the lunch!' Python tells him. Anansi must plan fast.
'Stop!' Anansi yells. 'A king must not chomp like this. Is Python a champ or not?'
Anansi holds up a red rope. 'A king can set the best trap with such a rope. This rope is for Nyame.'
Python puffs up. 'Tell Python of this trap. Which king can set it?' Anansi grins. 'Just the best king can.'
'The best trap has six twists. Bad snakes get stuck at twist three,' Anansi tells Python. 'Can Python match it?'
Python twists. 'Twist one, twist two, twist three!' Anansi cheers. But Python can not catch on. Python is in a mess.
'Twist six!' Anansi tells him. Python twists the last bit. 'Python is a champ!' Then Python can not go an inch.
Python pulls left and gets stuck. Python pulls back and gets stuck. 'Anansi! Fix this trap!' 'Just a king can fix such a trap,' Anansi calls back.
But Python has a trick. Python yells, 'Anansi is a cheat! Tell Nyame! Tell all!'
Anansi stops. If Nyame thinks Anansi did cheat, Anansi can not tell tales. So Anansi runs back and picks at the trap. 'Anansi did not cheat. Python did set the best trap! That tale will pay the debt.' Python thinks. 'Yes.'
Python lets Anansi go. The debt is done, not with lunch but with a big tale. Who won? Anansi yells he won. Python yells he won. And Anansi has the red rope.
