Turtle arrives exhausted and hungry, and Anansi lets him in while secretly planning to keep the food for himself. When Turtle must wash his dirty hands, Anansi quickly gobbles the yams. Turtle returns to find everything gone, yet he responds with courtesy, grateful invitation, and a promise to return the favour, emphasizing consequences and social expectations around hospitality.","Anansi na Nkasa  \nAnansi and Turtle  \nTranslated by Tyler Loveall and Ryanne BamiehshiNdzuani, English  \nCopyright © 2019, Cam Houser  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Ziyazi zi kana lada swafi vavoaziwoho tararibu harimwa moro. Wakati ziyazi zahiva akentsi hula.  \nOne day, the spider named Anansi picked yams from his field. They were delicious yams, so he cooked them carefully in the fire. When the yams were done he sat down to eat.  \nWakati Anansi andrisa hula, akiya muntru abubuamlongo. \"AMA!\" afikiri Anansi. \"Uwu de deni?\"  \nWhen Anansi was about to eat the first bite, he heard a knock on his door.“Oh, no!” thought Anansi.“Who can that be?”  \nBe abuwa mlongo. Pvuka Nkasa, yalemewa swafi. Nkasa arongoa, \"Anansi, nikaribisha tafadali. Tsilawa mbali lewo na wami tsilemewa tsenanisikiya ndza. Vavo Anansi kashindra fanyantrongo yangina nahika tsi de humlisha angiye.  \nBut he opened the door. There was Turtle, who looked very tired. Turtle said,“Anansi, please let me in. I've walked so far today, and I'm so tired and hungry.” So what could Anansi do but let him in?  \nAnansi waye mkwashe swafi wahanisa nakashindra huanyesa ziyazi zahe. Vavo afikiri mpango mwovu.  \nAnansi was too selfish to share his delicious yams with anybody else. So he came up with a nasty plan.  \nWakati Nkasa akentsi karibu na meza na andrisahusika ziyazi be Anansi ashemeledza, \"Nkasamihono yaho ya ntrontro! Nahika mihono yaho yantrontro kushindra hula shahula! Endra na wosamihono yaho!\" Mihono ya Nkasa ya ntrontro kweli. Vavo aramba mpolepole mroni, awosa mihono, na arudi dagoni.  \nJust as Turtle sat down next to the table and began to reach for some yams, Anansi yelled at him,“Turtle, your hands are all dirty! You can't eat with your hands all dirty! Go wash your hands.” Turtle's hands really were dirty. So he slowly crawled to the river, washed his hands, and then crawled back.  \nBe wakati Nkasa akoramba Anansi andrisa hula ziyazi haraka. Wakati Nkasa arudi awono de ziyazipiya ikomo.  \nBut while Turtle crawled, Anansi had started gobbling up the yams. By the time Turtle got back, he saw that the yams were all gone.  \nNkasa angaliya Anansi na arongoa, \"Marahaba hunikaribushiya ha shahula shaho. Nahika uparovira karibu hangu utso ja na nitso regeya ahadi yaho. Na Nkasa andrisa huregeya mpolepole dagoni.  \nTurtle looked at Anansi and said,“Thank you for inviting me to dinner. If you're ever near my house, please come and let me return the favour,”said Turtle. And Turtle began slowly returning to his house.","cbCain1oTTCoMoRE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain1oTTCoMoRE","pdf",790204,19,"English","en",105,"# Story\n## Turtle asks to be let in\n## Anansi’s selfish plan\n## Dirty hands and missing yams\n## Turtle returns the favour","[{\"question\":\"Why does Turtle come to Anansi’s door?\",\"answer\":\"Turtle arrives very tired, hungry, and in need of shelter for the night.
