in the olden days. All of the stories which men told were stories of Niamey, the chief of the gods Spider, who was very conceded. One of the stories told about him accordingly. One day he went to Miami and asked that in the future, all tales told by men might be a nun. See stories instead of the ami stories. Niamey agreed. On one condition. He told Spider or a Nazi that he must bring him three things. The first was a jar full of bees. The second was a boa constrictor, and the third, a tiger spider, gave his promise. He took an earthen vessel and set out for a place where he knew were numbers of bees. When he came to the site of the beads, he began saying to himself, They will not be able to fill this jar. Yes, they will be able. No, they will not be able until the bees came up to him and asked, What are you talking about Mr and Nancy? He then explained to them that Naomi and he had a great dispute. Nishiyama had said the beats could not fly into the jar. A Nazi had said they could. The bees immediately announced of course, they can find to the jar which they had once did as soon as they were safely inside a Nazi sealed up the jar and sent it to Niamey. The next day he took a long stick and set out in search of a large snake. When he arrived at the place where one lived, he began speaking to himself again. He will just be as long as this ****. No, he will not be so long as this. Yes, he will be as long as this. These words he repeated several times till the boa came out and asked him What is the matter? Oh, we have been having a dispute in the Army's town about you. The almost people say you are not as long as the stick. Yeah, I see you are. Please let me measure you. Buy it. The boa innocently laid himself out straight. Mhm and Spider lost no time in tying him on the stick from end to end. He then sent him to Niamey. The third day he took a needle and thread and sewed up his eye. He then set out for a din where he knew a tiger lipped as he came to the place, he began to shout and sing so loudly that the tiger came out to see what was the matter. Can you not see? Said Spider. My eyes sewn up, and now I can see such wonderful things that I must sing about them. So on my eyes, said the tiger. Then, too, I can see these surprising sights. Spider immediately did so having now made the tiger helpless, he led him straight to Naomi's house. Naomi was amazed at spiders cleverness in fulfilling the three conditions. He immediately gave him permission for the future to call all the old tales a non sea tales.
