Anansi and the Pot of Wisdom

Anansi the Spider, greedy for all wisdom, sought to gather it for himself.

He collected every lesson and secret into a large, heavy clay pot. Anansi then tried

to hide his treasure, climbing the tallest Iroko tree. But the pot,

tied to his belly, made climbing difficult. His young son, Ntikuma,

watching, noticed his father's predicament. Father, tie the pot

to your back; it will be easier. Anansi realized his foolishness,

despite all the wisdom he'd collected. In anger, he threw the pot down,

shattering it instantly. Wisdom scattered, spreading across the world, accessible to everyone.
