did not hear Elephant’s footsteps.

Elephant felt as sleepy as Anansi, so he lay down in his
favorite spot. Without looking, Elephant sat on top of Anansi!
FLOOM!

“Ummph! Ummm-mmph!” Anansi grumbled.
Elephant lifted his head and looked around. “Who’s that?

“Ummph! Ummm-mmph!” Anansi grumbled louder.

“Look before you sit, you clumsy ox!” Anansi yelled.
“I am not an ox,” Elephant chuckled. “I am an elephant!
Sorry, Anansi. You are such a little pipsqueak, I didn’t
see you!”

“Who are you calling a pipsqueak?” Anansi replied.
Elephant looked left and right. Then he looked at Anansi.
“Well, since you are the only one in sight, I guess I am talking
about you!” said Elephant.
