The story of Tumble-bug’s revenge is even more common than the last
number. In Wona, 51–55, Tumble-bug is carrying butter and Anansi only
lard. Anansi proposes that they put their loads together, sees that
Tumble-bug’s is at the bottom, and makes the ruling in order that he
may get the butter and Tumble-bug the lard. Compare number 46 and the
opening episode of the last number.
The revenge story is recent. In Wona, Tumble-bug suffers further at
Anansi’s hands.
In Tremearne, FL 21: 213–214, Tortoise and Spider have a bull in
common; Tortoise eats the liver and Spider claims in compensation the
whole bull. Tortoise pretends dead and frightens Spider, who thinks it
is a spirit and gives him everything.
