Once upon a time, in a village in West Africa, lived a clever spider named Anansi. He was known by all as the wisest creature, for he had a sharp mind and a quick wit. But Anansi was not content. He wanted to be the only one with wisdom.
One day, Anansi came up with a plan. He decided to gather all the wisdom in the world and keep it in a large pot. He thought, "If I have all the wisdom, then everyone will come to me for advice. I will be the most important creature in the village!"
So, Anansi traveled far and wide, collecting wisdom from every corner of the earth. He visited the tall mountains, the deep oceans, and the thick jungles. He asked everyone he met to give him a little bit of their wisdom for his pot.
After many months of hard work, Anansi's pot was full to the brim with wisdom. He looked at the pot and said, "Now, I am the wisest of all. I must find a safe place to hide this pot."
Anansi thought the best place to hide his pot of wisdom would be at the top of the tallest tree in the forest. He tied a rope around the pot and started to climb the tree, pulling the pot up behind him. But, the pot was big and heavy, and it was hard to climb with it.
As Anansi struggled, a small child walked by and watched him for a while. Then, the child said, "Anansi, wouldn't it be easier to tie the pot to your back? That way, you could climb the tree more easily."
Anansi was stunned. He had been so busy collecting wisdom that he didn't think of such a simple solution. He realized that he did not, in fact, have all the wisdom in the world.
In his shock, Anansi let go of the rope, and the pot fell to the ground. It broke, and all the wisdom scattered, carried away by the wind to every corner of the world.
And that is why, even today, wisdom can be found in every person and every place, not just in one creature or one pot.
Once upon a time, in a land not-so-far, not-so-near, right in the groove of West Africa, lived a clever spider named Anansi. Oh, he wasn't just any spider; he was the wisest, cleverest, and had the shiniest eight-legged shoes in town.
But Anansi had a wish, a big spider-sized wish. He wanted to be the only wise one around. So, he put on his thinking cap and said, "If I have all the wisdom, I'll be like the king of clever! The sultan of smart! The... well, you get it."
With a hop, skip, and a spider-twirl, Anansi set off on a wild ride to gather all the wisdom in the world into a really big pot.
From tall mountains to deep oceans, Anansi collected wisdom, singing silly songs and telling spider jokes all the way. He even did a little dance with a wise old turtle who taught him the secret turtle handshake.
When Anansi's pot was finally as full as a jelly donut, he said, "Ha! I'm the wisest of all. I must hide this pot somewhere safe, like at the top of a tree! A really tall tree, with leaves and branches and stuff."
So, up the tallest tree he went, dragging his heavy pot behind him. But oh, that pot was as wobbly as a bowl of jelly on a rollercoaster.
A small child, munching on a cookie, wandered by and said, "Mr. Anansi, why not tie the pot to your back? It's like wearing a funny hat, but on your back! Hee-hee!"
Anansi's eight eyes blinked with surprise. "Well, butter my biscuits, why didn't I think of that?" he exclaimed.
But in his surprise, Anansi let go of the rope, and—CRASH!—down went the pot. Wisdom flew everywhere, like sprinkles from a party cannon.
And that is why wisdom is found all over the place today. In every laugh, every hug, every cookie crumb, there's a bit of wisdom waiting to be found.
Deep within West Africa's heart,
Anansi, the spider, sought to be smart.
With dreams grand and ambitions high,
He wanted all wisdom, oh my, oh my!
"I'll gather it all, every last bit!"
Said Anansi, with his ever-so-quick wit.
"A pot of knowledge, all mine to keep,
Then to me, they'll all leap!"
From towering peaks to oceans so blue,
Through jungles dense, his mission grew.
To each he met, he made his plea,
"Share a thought, just one, with me!"
His pot soon bulged, full to the top,
With thoughts and ideas, it seemed nonstop.
"Now where," he pondered, "to keep it all safe?
Ah! Atop the tallest tree, my wisdom enclave!"
With pot in tow, up the tree he went,
But his climb was slow, his energy spent.
The pot was heavy, the task quite big,
He struggled and fumbled, twig by twig.
A child passing by, watched the scene,
And said, "Anansi, wouldn’t this mean,
Tying the pot to your back, you see,
Would make climbing easy as one, two, three!"
Anansi paused, eyes wide with surprise,
Such simple wisdom, from one so unwise?
In his quest for all, he’d overlooked the near,
The pot slipped, and he shed a tear.
Crash went the pot, wisdom flew like sand,
Spreading its treasures across the land.
Gone in a moment, wisdom took its flight,
To touch every heart, every home, every sight.
