Witty prey outsmarting stupid predators are a beloved theme of many African folk tales. Known as The Trickster, these animals express the importance of â??Brains over brawnâ??. These tales provide commentary on how life is not fair and sometimes people are disadvantaged by others with better assets such as in slavery and colonialism.
