An African folktale, told by the Bakongo people of Zaire, which tells the story of Crab, who, in the beginning-time when the animals were being made, boasted so much about the wonderful head he would have, that the exasperated Nzambi Mpungu left him wiht no head at all. A humorous tale told in language which is easy to read and easy to understnd; a good read-aloud.
