Anansi gets lost and falls into the river. He gets swallowed by a fish! His son, Trouble Seer, sees that he is in trouble and the six sons set out to help their father.
Working together using their unique abilities, Anansi’s six sons save their father from danger. All of them returned home safely that evening.
Anansi sees a great globe of light in the forest, and wants to give it to the son who rescued him. Since all of his sons worked together to rescue him, Anansi asks Nyame, The God of All Things, what he should do. Nyame put the ball in the sky, and that is how the moon came to be.
