EP 129: South Africa- The Story of a Dam (James A Honey 1910)

In this story, everyone is working together to build a dam for when the rains come. Everyone that is, except for Jackal. He doesn't want to dirty up his nails. But when Jackal wants to get some water, he has to trick the animals and not get tricked himself. There is a bit of the Brer Rabbit and the baby made of tar or Anansi and the wax dummy in this story, just in how Turtle manages to catch Jackal. I love Jackal, but he is also a jerk.
