How did Anancy foil (defeat) bro tiger’s pretension?
Anancy is extraordinarily intelligent. Support your answer.
Anancy is a good example for intelligence. While the villagers did not think of confirming the tiger’s death, Anancy worked his logic out. Using his reasoning power, Anancy asked the villagers a few very intelligent questions that none of them had ever thought of. He questioned the villagers if bro Tiger had whimpered or called out the names of Lord before dying. He also asked them if anybody had thought of calling a doctor. Finally when Anancy declared that no one can die without crying, the foolish ‘dead’ tiger cried out loudly to prove that he had really died. With the ‘dead tiger’ howling, Anancy proved that the tiger had been pretending to be dead.
