Discusses the difference between folklore and “folk-law.” Many of the stories take the form of parables and serve as a form of cultural law.

The Deceitful Spider, the Half-Man, and the Rubber-Girl

“The Spider” pretends to go and work everyday, until his wife asks where the ground-nut crop is. Then he goes and steals ground-nuts from the Half-Man. The Half-Man makes a rubber girl with big breasts. When the Spider grabs ahold of them, he gets stuck. HE kicks and gets even more stuck. THe Half-Man comes back and beats him up.

Clearly a pre-cursor to several stories.
