# Jamaica Anansi Stories/The Riddle

Tacoomah and Anansi were great friends. Tacoomah got into trouble. He was tried and sentenced to be hung. Anansi said, "Brer Tacoomah, no fret! I'm a good liar; I play you off." Anansi went to the king to beg for Tacoomah. The king said to him, "If you give me a puzzle that I can't answer, I will let him off."
Anansi went home. Tacoomah had a mare that was heavy with colt. He said, "Brer Tacoomah, if you do as I tell you, I can get you off." Tacoomah said, "Brer Nansi, I will do anything to save me life!" Go for the mare--the one heavy with colt--open the mare's stomach and took out the colt, then took a bit of the mare's skin and cut out a bridle. Then Tacoomah got some fresh dirt and filled his hat and put it on, got some silver and put it into one boot and throw some gold into the other boot. Next, Tacoomah mount the colt. Anansi said, "Come now, Brer Tacoomah, go now and see king." He told Tacoomah all that he was to say to the king when he met him; Anansi put him up to all the talk. They said to the king:
"Under the earth I stood, Silver and gold was my tread, I rode a thing that never was born, An' a bit of the dam I hold in me hand."
The king couldn't guess it; he said, "You must explain to my satisfaction." And he said, "I have me hat full of dirt" (took off his hat and show him), "one boot with silver" (he was standing on silver), "the other boot with gold" (he was standing on gold also). He rode "a colt that was never born" (he cut that out of the mother's belly), and "a bit of the dam" he held in his hand--that was the mare's skin he had as a bridle. The king reprimanded him and said, "Go on, me good man, go about your business!"
Jack man dory! Anansi got him off, Anansi was a smart man!

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
245 U.S. 328
Jones v. Buffalo Creek Coal & Coke Company
Argued: Nov. 5, 1917. --- Decided: Dec 10, 1917
This is an action of ejectment brought by the Buffalo Creek Coal & Coke Company in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of West Virginia. Jurisdiction of that court was invoked solely on the ground of diversity of citizenship. A verdict was directed for the plaintiff below; and the case was brought here by direct writ of error, defendants below claiming that, by the action of the lower court they have been deprived of their property without due process of law in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the federal Constitution.
Plaintiff below set up title from the state derived through mesne conveyances, by virtue of sales made for the benefit of the school fund under statutes which have repeatedly been held valid by this court. The action of which defendants complain as depriving them of due process of law, is the admission in evidence herein of the records and papers in three proceedings brought in the state courts of West Virginia under these statutes, and the rendering of judgment herein against them. As the action now complained of is not the action of a state, the Fourteenth Amendment can have no application. And the claim that the action of the court violates the Fifth Amendment is likewise unfounded.
It was the contention of the plaintiff below that the records and papers in the three suits established title in those under whom it claims; and also that the decrees in thosesuits created res judicata as against the defendant, because their predecessors in title had been parties or privies to those suits. The defendants below contended among other things, that the premises in question were not within the tracts affected by one or more of the decrees in those suits and that they were not bound by any of them. It is conceivable that the defendants below were right in whole or in part, and that the trial judge erred in admitting some or all of the evidence objected to and in rendering judgment for the plaintiff. But error of a trial judge in admitting evidence or entering judgment after full hearing does not constitute a denial of due process of law. Central Land Co. v. Laidley, 159 U.S. 103, 112, 16 Sup. Ct. 80, 40 L. Ed. 91. The writ of error must be
Dismissed.
