A trickster is often found in folktales. The musical rhyme “Shake it to the East, Shake it to the West, Shake it to the one that you love best” tells the message of the story. The trickster gets Granny to dance in all directions. In the end, she tricks him into dancing with her. His music is irresistible to her and her dancing is irresistible to him. Is it that she forgives him for stealing her food? Does she love him the best? ( )
