- Nini, I have an amazing story to tell you
- I can't wait!
- But first let me tell you about Anansi
- One day, Nyame gave Anansi the spider a special gift
- Anansi orignated from the Akan- Ashanti people in Ghana in West Africa
- Interesting Nana!
- a person who is greatly admired by many people of a particular kind or in a particular place
- Who is a Folk hero Nana?
- Finally! Nana
- Now time for the story!
- Long ago, people knew very little about farming tools or how to weave cloths
- Nyame, the god of heaven kept all the wisdom stored up in a clay pot
- The pot with all the wisdom in it
- Anansi was so exicted. He did want share it with anyone
- Anansi decided to keep the pot away from the world
- Oh no!
- He tied a rope around the pot of wisdom and hung it down in front of him
- so he would be able to climb a tree. Anansi found it diffcult to climb a tree
- He was beginning to get very impatient, tired and bruised. Anansi's son had been standng at the bottom of the tree watching
- Suddenly, he said "but father, wouldn't it be easier to climb if you tied the pot to your back instead?"
- Anansi tried tying the clay pot full of wisdom to his back and it was alot easier .
- But then stopped and thought,
- I'm supposed to be the one with all the wisdom and here this little child was smarter than me".
- Anansi was so angry about this, that he threw the clay pot down, out of the tree. It smashed into pieces on the ground
- Of course, all the wisdom got out and flew away, all over the world
- That is how people learned to farm and to make clothes and to make iron and all the other people know how to do
