Answer:
The story of Anansi begins in Ghana in West Africa many, many years ago. People believed that Anansi was the son of a great sky god named Nyame. Anansi was very powerful and could make it rain, or tell the oceans where they should be.
He was so powerful that he made the sun and the moon and put the stars into the night sky. Anansi even made the sun shine during the day. He also taught the people how to plant crops, build houses, and live in groups.
Anansi had one serious weakness: he was very mischievous, or troublesome. He couldn't help himself. He loved to play tricks on people.
One day, Anansi's father got so upset with his son that he turned him into a spider and took his powers away. But that didn't stop Anansi. He may have lost his powers, but he was very smart.
Anansi used his intelligence to trick and fool other animals and to get out of trouble. Often these animals were much larger and stronger than he was, but Anansi didn't care. He tried to trick them anyway
