# How Ananse Tricked Tiger and Got a Deer DinnerAnanse and Tiger decided to test whose hand was stronger. The cunning spider hid a hammer up his sleeve and struck Tiger on the head with it. Unaware of the concealed weapon, Tiger was shocked by what seemed to be Ananse's incredible strength. Determined to retaliate, Tiger announced he would return the next day to hit Ananse.Anticipating Tiger's revenge, Ananse invited Deer to his house. He cleverly told Deer, "I'm going to take a nap now, but Tiger is bringing me good food for dinner! When he knocks, let him in." The unsuspecting deer agreed to this seemingly innocent request.When Tiger arrived and knocked, Deer opened the door as instructed. The enraged tiger immediately struck Deer with full force and ran away, believing he had successfully attacked Ananse. The powerful blow killed Deer instantly. Rather than mourning this tragedy, the opportunistic Ananse simply roasted the dead Deer and enjoyed an unexpected feast—turning Tiger's revenge attempt into a beneficial outcome for himself while evading harm completely.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​https://mythopia.io/story/164/the-contest-of-strength-how-ananse-the-spider-tricked-tiger-and-deer-west-african-folk-tale
