Annancy don't wait till night, go about midday. When him go him get a long bag ready. Every minute him come out of the house an' look on sun. Annancy couldn' tarry but only praying to see if night can come.
When night come Candlefly get ready an' tell Annancy to stay aback. Them travel till at last them get. (Annancy going to play out Candlefly.)
Every gash Candlefly gash an' see a egg going to pick it up, Annancy say:--"A me first see ahm."
Candlefly gash again: Annancy take away every one till him bag full. Candlefly don't get one. So as Annancy such a strong man Candlefly compel was to lef' without say a word.
After Candlefly gone with the light Annancy couldn' find nowhere to put his foot.
Annancy say:--"Poor me boy, I mus' try see if I can fin' the way."

Him say:--"Annancy, you godson, bring some eggs fe you."
During this time Annancy never know that it was Tiger who him hate so much.
When the door open there come Brother Tiger.
Annancy say:--"Marnin', Godfather Tiger."
Same time Tiger send his wife to go an' put on the copper on the fire.
So them boil the whole barrel-bag of eggs.
