All of these story types have survived by being "represented in Africa, the West Indies, and the American South." These tricksters cause disharmony, which is part of the audience's entertainment. The main characteristic of the trickster in these tales is the “signifier,” the “ability to use cunning words to turn the powerful into the gullible.” Usually, a cheater enters into a contract with a deceived person, but betrays him. It does so because it gains its strength by violating social boundaries. Other times, the cheater plays pranks and gets caught, which leads to humiliation. Some of the stories in this section are "Why the Hare Runs Away", "The Ant's Burden" and "Deceiving All Kings" In "Why the Hare Runs Away", we know that the trickster enters into a contract when "it has been decided" is been said, and we know the cheater breaks that contract when we see "he refused." The cheater is punished for breaking the contract by being caught by the other animals. In the story "The Burden of the Ant", we see Anansi trying to make Kweku his deceiver when he "wondered how he could put the blame on someone else". This tale also takes on the characteristics of a contest between tricksters because Anansi loses and, in return, is made fun of, for which he "was condemned". “Tricking All the Kings” is about outsmarting a plantation master. Although the king appears to dominate at the beginning of the story, he is later deceived. We see him become the trickster's first fool when Buh Nansi says "oh, Massa King, do you mean to throw me into that blue, blue sea...", and we see the contract made when the king says, "No, I wouldn't" t , I'll let you drown." In this story the trickster beats the deceiver because the king couldn't have done him "a better favor”
