Funny Stories Chosen by Andrew Matthews

    Funny Stories is a collection of short stories that is collected by Andrew Matthews. This book contains 16 different stories. One of my favourite story is Anancy and the Tiger. This story is a Carribean Tale. The main character of this story is Anancy and the Tiger. Anancy is a sneaky person who is a very skinny person. On the other hand, Tiger is courageous, strong but very much of a fool. The setting of this story is Monkey Village and a forest nearby. The plot of this story is Anancy and the Tiger were always best friends. They share everything together, but not Tiger's dinner. One day, Anancy was very hungry, he had to find a way to get Tiger's dinner. He tricked Tiger to swim at a far lake, then said he had to went home because he is sick. Then he went to get Tiger's dinner. He then went home, knowing monkeys love to sing and dance, so he taught a song to the monkey:

"Call me a thief

 Call me a sinner

 But today I ate old Tiger's dinner"

The monkeys went on to sing it and Anancy got away with it. I rate this book three out of five because some of the story were pretty boring. I recommend this book to small kids because it is pretty childish. Bye!
