Bredda Anancy

Bredda Lion had a new bad habit that he felt was his right an privilege, being the most feared in the village. He developed the biggest belch in the whole village. Every time he ate and went to sleep at night, he would belch really loud all night and wake up the rest of the village.

Anancy loved to sleep. Next to food sleep was the next thing he loved in the whole world. Since Lion had developed this habit he has not gotten one night's sleep. Last night was the worst. Lion had belched every hour on the hour, since 8 pm that night. Anancy’s eyes were blood shot red and he was angry.

He visited Bredda Rabbit and Bredda Snake to see how they were holding up. "Bredda Rabbit, how yuh doing man?" asked Anancy, as he approached Bredda Rabbit outside his home.

"Mi doing just fine." replied Bredda Rabbit.

"Yuh getting any sleep since Lion start dem big belchin?" asked Bredda Anancy.

"Yeah man, nuff sleep since mi buy dem ear muffs whey Bredda Snake tell me bout down a shop." he replied.

"Ear muffs!" Anancy exclamated.

"Yes dem block out every sound, whey yuh nuh go buy some?" Bredda Rabbit explained.

"Is true." Anancy replied.

So he set off down to Mr. Lee's shop and bought him some ear muffs.

That night around 7:45 pm he put on the ear muffs and went to bed.
A large "Buuuurrrrrrrrrrp" sound awoke Anancy.

"But wait," he thought to himself "dem ear muffs nah work." You see, his spider senses were just as sensitive as his ears and could pick up the sound. The others in the village did not have this type of sense so the earmuff worked for them. So again Anancy had a sleepless night.

The next morning he was very angry. He was so angry he walked over to Bredda Lion’s home to talk to him.

Anancy pleaded "Bredda Lion, Mi a beg yuh please stop de all nite belching. Mi cyaan get nuh sleep a nite."

"Yuh mad Anancy? A mi run tings in dis village, an mi will stop when mi feel like." Bredda Lion replied.

"But how yuh so bad mind. Nobady
