ABSTRACT
One day the Spider went to the Hyæna's house when he knew that she was out for a walk, and began talking to the Cubs. He asked one what his name was, and the Cub answered "Mohammadu." Then he said to another " And what is your name? " and he replied "Isa." Then the Spider asked a third Cub his name and he said " It is Na-taala." When he had asked them all, he said "Now, look here, your Mother-Hyæna asked me to come here and live with you, so you must know my name, it is For-you-all." Now whenever the Hyæna brought food she used to say "It is for you all," and [so after that] the Spider would at once exclaim " You see, it is all for me only, you heard what our Mother (1) has said." So the Spider would eat up all the food.
