Page 1 One hot day in Africa, Anansi met brother dog. “Hello brother dog will you be my friend?” asked Anansi. “Yes” replied Dog. “If you are a true friend buy me a cake!”said Anansi joyfully. “Ok I will buy you a cake” spoke Brother Dog. Anansi said “come to mine at 12 o clock alright!”

Page 6 Anansi tured the clock forward. “You are late Sister Goose. I ate all the jaffa cakes and pies.”

Page 7 Later that day, all the animals had a meeting about Anansi and how he had tricked them so meanly. They felt very CROSS! So they decided to trick him back. “Anansi come to mine at 12 and bring lots of food you like as we are going to have a party,” spoke Brother Dog. “ ok” said Anansi joyfully. Anansi brought lots of delicious food. He brought: jaffa cakes, yams dripping in chilli sauce, chocolate cake and plantains. He couldn’t wait.

Just before he could tuck into the gorgeous food, “Anansi your hands are muddy go and wash them” cried all the animals. While he washed his hands, everyone ate the food. Anansi was furious!!!! But ........Anansi had learnt his lesson . Moral: never be greedy.
