Anansi and the Magic Stools

Story

King Tiger challenges animals to count his stools, but anyone who counts all five dies. Several animals fall into the trap and are eaten by Tiger. When Anansi arrives, he cleverly avoids saying "five" directly. Tiger, frustrated, demonstrates the correct way to count and falls victim to his own trick.
