from 'Cunnie Anansi Does Some Good', a West Indian
tale...

We meet Mutha Spider in a story where Cunnie Anansi
saves his mother, Mutha Spider...in the author's version
of the story, the 2 other mothers, Breda Parrot & Sima
Tiger are also saved, but they don't fare so well in the
original story...

'...Cunnie Anansi is wiser than Parrot is flyer, smarter
than Tiger is strong!'

The moral of the story...'cunny better dan strong!',
meaning cunning is better than strength...
