They didnt know how to plant crops, or how to weave clothes, or how to make iron tools.One day Nyame gave the pot with all the wisdom in it to Anansi.It was so exciting But greedy Anansi thought, I will keep all this wisdom to myself.
The World'S Wisdom How To Plant CropsAnansi thought it would be a good idea to keep the pot with the wisdom safe at the top of a tall tree, where nobody else could get it. He braided some vines together into a rope and tied the rope to the clay pot. Then Anansi tied the rope around his waist, so the pot hung down in front of him, and he started to climb the tree. All the time Anansis little son had been standing at the bottom of the tree watching. Suddenly Anansis son said, But Dad, wouldnt it be easier to climb if you tied the pot to your back instead. Im supposed to be the one with all the wisdom, and here this little kid was smarter than me Anansi was so angry about this that he threw the clay pot down out of the tree. 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 things that people know how to do.
