Anansi's Fishing Adventure and Lessons

Anansi the spider, too lazy to catch fish himself, tries to trick Turtle into doing all the work. Turtle, however, outsmarts Anansi by pretending to get tired while Anansi does all the tasks. In the end, Turtle eats the fish alone, and Anansi's complaint to Warthog, the judge, is dismissed.
