Description
In this story, Anansi is counting his yam hills. He counts to seven, and he flies up into the air. He says that it will be a good trick to play on his friends, so he messes up counting his yam hills and gets his friends to correct him. They say "Silly Spider, you don't know how to count." Then they count for him, and when they say seven, they fly up into the air.
