Anansi and the Talking Melon

One fine morning Anansi the Spider drops into Elephant's melon patch. He takes a thorn from a tree and uses it to poke a hole in a big, juicy melon. He squeezes inside and starts eating. Anansi eats and eats until he is as round as a berry. Now he has a real problem -- he's too fat to climb back out of the melon! While he waits to get thin again, he decides to have some fun. He talks to Elephant. Elephant is so impressed with "the talking melon" that he takes it to show the king. How Anansi amuses himself by fooling the other animals on the journey will delight readers who like to watch a good trickster at work.
