When
Tiger wins the lottery, Anansi convinces him to become his partner and buy a
cattle ranch. Small but clever, Anansi outwits the bigger Tiger and ends up with
all the cattle. Anansi is a well-known trickster figure found throughout West
African and Caribbean folklore. This story combines contemporary elements such
as a lottery with the traditional themes of the trickster.
