Reading Notes: West African Folktales, Part A

I really enjoyed the story about Anansi and Nothing. The whole time I was waiting for the punchline about his name being nothing and was surprised when it finally came up. I'd like to do this, but with a modern America twist. Make nothing a part guy with a crappy job and Anansi some big shot business man or something. I'd probably also change the detail about nothing's wife being given to him, as that is kind of weird to me.

Poor nothing and Rich Anansi
