See Trouble
Road Builder
River Drinker
He could see trouble a long way off. He knew that his father was in trouble and alerted the others.
He had a knack for building roads very quickly. He built a road for the brothers to safely walk on in order to look for their father.
He was able to drink whole river dry! When Anansi was swallowed by a fish, he drank the river in order to get to the fish.
Cushion
The Six Sons
Stone Thrower
Game Skinner
He was very soft, like a cushion. When Anansi fell from the sky, he landed on Cushion safely.
He was able to throw stones really, really far! When a falcon took Anansi and started to fly away with him, Stone Thrower hit the falcon with a stone, causing it to release Anansi.
He was able to skin animals for his family. (Ew!) He split open the fish to get to Anansi inside.
