THE WISE SPIDER [Chapter 1(One)]

Who is Kweku Ananse? The most cunning spider that lived

Where does he live? Everywhere. He roams the earth.

Is he married? Yes. His wife is called Akonori Yaa,

whose nanme means Very attractive woman born on Thursday

Does he have any children? Yes. Two sons and one daughter

Nikuma is his eldest son whose name means 'Small Head'.

His second son is called Efundotwidotwi whose name means 'very Fat tummy,'

and his daughter is called Nyaakonwhiaa and her name means 'Very Skinny Legs'.

When GOd created the world, He made many nice things for everyone who lived

on this Earth in order to make their stay here a happy One. He made the sun,

the stars, the moon and flowers of many colours. And then, He made stories too. 

God provided these stories, each evening, for people to relax after a hard

day's work. However, He did not leave these stories on earth but kept them all with

Him in the heavens. No animal or man was fit to keep these stories on Earth.

Millions of years passed by and then one day, God had a meeting wilh all the

people who lived on the Earth. He told them, it was time for His stories to be kept

on Earth. Therefore, He was going to set a price for the stories. Anyone who could pay

the set price would be the keeper of the stories for ever and ever.

The meeting became very noisy. Everyone was talking at the same time aboul how

they would do all in their power to become the keeper of God's stories. so, God clapped

His hands as loud as thunder and said, "Order! Order!'He asked the people to be

quiet so He could name His price.

When God named His price, the whole gathering fell silent. What price would make

people who had been loudly swearing moments before fall quiet?

The price that God asked for His stories was shocking! A live python. A live lion.

A hive of bees and a dwart trom Susubiribi Forest, the darkest and most dangerous

forest on Earth. Even, the hercest warrior of the land, Red Hunter was quiet.
