    ANANSI 

    THE 

    SPIDER 

    Once 
    upon a time in 
    a village 
    far away, 

    it 
    was time 
    to 
    eat lunch 
    for the day. 

    Mr. 

    Turtle's 
    tummy was a 
    -rumbling. 

    He 
    was ready to 
    cook 
    up something. 

    In 
    his garden, 

    Mr. 

    Turtle 
    trundled. 

    Under his flippers, 
    yams 
    he bundled. 

    shall 
    make a 
    yam 
    stew, 
    said 
    he. 

    A delicious 
    feast 
    just 
    for me. 

    Into 
    the 
    pot the 
    yams went smush 

    smash smash. 

    He 
    whipped up the 
    stew 
    in it jiffy, 

    in a flash. 

    Yow! 

    It was hot 
    and 
    needed to chill, 

    so 
    he 
    left it on the 
    windowsill. 

    And 

    Nancy, 
    the trickster 
    spider, 
    was nearby. 

    He'd 
    had no 
    lunch, 
    not 
    even 
    a fly. 

    Suddenly, 
    delicious 
    smell 
    of 
    stew 

    in 
    his 
    nostrils 
    grew 
    and 
    grew. 

    Sniff, 
    sniff! 

    And 

    Nancy followed 
    the 
    smell towards 

    house 
    shaped 
    like a shell. 

    There 
    on 
    the sill 
    was 
    a tasty 
    stew. 

    And 
    yam 
    was 
    his favourite 
    stew 
    too. 

    Anansi 
    knock 
    -knocked 

    on 
    the 
    house of shell. 

    Mr 

    Turtle 
    appeared and 
    sighed 
    as well. 

    Can I eat 
    some of 
    your stew? 

    Anansi 
    said. 

    But 

    Mr 

    Turtle just 
    shook his 
    head. 

    Mr 

    Turtle thought 
    this was rude. 

    After all, 
    the stew 
    was his food. 

    No, 
    you can
    't, 
    he said to 

    Anansi. 

    This tasty 
    feast 
    is just 
    for me. 

    Everyone 
    knew 

    Anansi was 
    cheeky. 

    He 
    al
    ways made 
    plans that 
    were 
    sneak
    y. 

    He 
    suddenly thought 
    of a cunning 
    trick

    to eat 
    this stew ever 
    so quick. 

    He 
    said, 

    If I 
    make 
    something 
    fly 
    without 
    wing
    s, 

    Mr 

    Turtle, 

    can I 
    try 
    some 
    of your 
    deli
    cious stew? 

    It 
    seemed this 
    couldn't be 
    true. 

    Mr 

    Turtle laughed. 

    Something 
    fly? 

    Without 
    wings? 
    I'd 
    like to 
    see you try! 

    If this 
    thing can 
    fly fast 
    an
    d true, 

    then 
    I'll 
    give you 
    all of 
    my 
    tasty 
    stew !" 

    Tee hee 
    hee! 

    Anansi 
    chuckled then 
    too. 

    He 
    knew exactly 
    what 
    to do. 

    He 
    shot 
    a long 
    spider string, 

    so 
    thin 
    you couldn't 
    see 
    a thing. 

    He shot 
    it 
    towards the 
    window, where 

    the stew was 
    ready to 
    go. 

    And 

    Nancy 
    glided 
    on this spider 
    string. 

    Whoosh! 

    It 
    looked like 
    he 
    was flying! 

    And 

    Nancy slided 
    and 
    glided along. 

    The 
    silk string was 
    nice and 
    strong. 

    Soon, 
    he reached 
    the stew pot, 

    and 
    in 
    his eight arms 
    it 
    was caught. 

    Mr 

    Turtle 
    was so 
    surprised, 

    he couldn't 
    believe his 
    turtle eyes. 

    Why, 
    how did you 
    do that? 

    said he. 

    And 

    Nancy 
    giggled and 
    danced with glee. 

    Mr. 

    Turtle felt 
    sad 
    and de
    feated. 

    Little 
    did he know, 

    he'd just been cheated. 

    You can 
    have all the 
    yam 
    stew. 

    You 
    flew without wings, 
    that is 
    true. 

    I'd like to 
    share this stew, 
    said 

    Anansi. 

    Mr. 

    Turtle 
    smiled. 

    Great idea, 
    I agree. 

    Slurp! 

    They ate 
    the tasty 
    stew right 
    up, 

    and 
    often after, 
    together 
    would sup.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
